The Royal Yachting Association or RYA has a well-structured pathway to work through to help you develop your sailing skills from a young age right up to offshore racing, Olympics, and beyond.
Loch Insh is the perfect location to learn beginner to intermediate sailing because the Loch gets a clean wind. It is a large Loch but not so large that you’re too far from the shore.
Sailing is an immensely rewarding activity with massively diverse directions you can take to enjoy this sport all over the world.
Please contact us to enquire about our sailing courses.
Whether you’re looking for the thrills of the Catamarans, or the challenge of mastering the single handers, there really is something for everyone at Loch Insh. Weather permitting, children will be taught in an Optimist dinghy on their own or with a friend. There is a lot to learn in a sailing boat, so before you can take one out yourself, you are required to have attended a course to get your RYA level 1 minimum.
Courses are split into adults and children to pitch the tuition at the perfect level for all. Our two day course will get you an RYA level 1 certificate and give you the confidence to practice on your own. Our five day course brings you up to level 2, which is recognised internationally as the certificate required for hiring boats anywhere in the world.
