“Sailing is a fantastic sport which rewards even a small amount of skill. People of all abilities can take part at any age either by themselves, part of a team, or as a family” - Sarah Ayton, Olympic Gold Medallist 2004

Sailing has everything, from a cool and sociable relaxing leisure experience to a high performance, high adrenalin sport. At NWAC we focus on the adventurous challenge of sailing. We are an RYA recognised training centre, which means we are inspected annually to national governing body guidelines. We adapt the RYA teaching method to meet the needs of individual groups.

The RYA sailing scheme for young people follows 4 stage awards followed by awards in specific skills. The youth sailing logbook (pictured below) is a great way for young people to keep track of their progress and record their achievements.

We offer sailing in a number of different boats including:
A Topper Toppers – Our main teaching fleet. Toppers are excellent beginner boats. Very forgiving and tough, the Topper can also be raced to international standard.
Picos Picos – The Picos are similar to the Toppers but are more suited to adults. They are also excellent beginner boats.
An Omega Omega – The Omega is our large adventure boat. The Omega can take 6 young people and is a great boat for teaching teamwork as well as all the sailing skills
Our sailing programme can be tailored to your individual needs. If you are interested in sailing, just get in touch and we will let you know about our latest courses and activities.
