Elevate Your Expertise of Keelboat Sailing in Caernarfon, Wales!
RYA Basic Skills (Level 2): This practical course consolidates what you have already learnt on Start Sailing (L1) course and sets out the foundations for developing your sailing. Practical on water sessions include coming alongside, improved tacking, gybing and man overboard. By the end of this course you should be a competant light-wind sailor, able to confidently sail around a short course in our J80 Keelboats without an instructor onboard but coaching nearby from a RIB. Our J80 Keelboats are kept on moorings just outside the centre on the Menai Strait so you will be transferred from the slipway by RIB to the moorings and rig on the water before learning to leave and return to pick up the mooring whatever the state of the tide.
