Sailing Courses
Thank you for your enquiry about sailing courses at West Oxfordshire Sailing Club. The dates and times are on the enclosed leaflet the details of which are as follows:-
Level 1 (for total beginners)
We start from you having never been in a sailing boat before and end with you being able to sail in light winds.
Level 2 (the continuation of level one)
By the end of the course, the successful sailor will be safety conscious, have a basic knowledge of sailing and be capable of sailing, in light winds, without an instructor on board.
You will need to be at the club for 9.15am each day and we aim to have finished by 5.00pm
All tuition will be under the supervision of a Royal Yachting Association Senior Instructor.
We will provide experienced tuition, boats and relevant equipment, tea and coffee, changing rooms with hot showers, a personal log and beginners hand book.
You will need to bring food for lunch, clothes to sail in that are warm including a jumper, trousers (not jeans) soft shoes (trainers) you are prepared to paddle in, a waterproof or windproof coat (anorak), a change of clothes and a towel. If you have your own buoyancy aid please bring it (we can supply some adult sizes otherwise).
You must be able to swim 50 metres in light clothing (we will not be conducting test – but you are expected to be confident in the water wearing a buoyancy aid). Non-members please note you are regarded as a temporary member whilst on club premises and subject to WOSC rules and conditions.
Cost:- Club members £90 per level or £180 for levels 1&2 consecutively.
Non-members £120 per level or £240 for levels 1&2 consecutively.
These prices include a non-refundable booking fee of £15 per level.
Please note you are not on the course until the completed form and total payment is sent.
It is recommended that you take levels 1&2 on consecutive weekends as the continuity of learning with a group you get to know can make learning easier and adds to your enjoyment.
