RYA youth stage 4 gives students the change to refine their independent sailing. Over two day course, you will sail double-handed boats, become independent in rigging, launching, and recovery. Students will further improve their Stage 3 manoeuvres including coming alongside, picking up a mooring and man-over-board procedures.

Students will be taught more advanced sailing theory to give them better fluency both on and off the water. Theory will be focused on IRPCS, Weather and Tides and IALA buoyage

    FAQs

    We require 28 days notice before the start of course/ session if you wish to cancel your position. This enables us to refill the position. We will accept your cancellation after this date, but will not refund any payment after this date unless we have refilled your position or booking.



    After booking, the course dates you selected are the ones you are expected to attend. This is because each lesson in the course is unique and tailored to be step by step progression. If you cannot make it, you can join the next available course where you left off.

    For example, if you cannot attend session 3 of Stage 1, we will move you to the next Stage 1 course to continue and complete it.

    In the unlikely situation where we need to cancel, (which is normally beyond our control) we will either rearrange the session date or a full
    refund will be issued.
