Sail Birmingham and Midland Sailing Club are members of the RYA’s OnBoard Scheme. You must have at least your RYA Stage 1 to take part and we run regular two-hour sessions at various times throughout the week which you can book individually when it suits you. These are small-group sessions with no more than five kids at a time, so you get the full attention of the instructor running the session. All instructors are fully RYA-qualified and each session ensures that the kids have fun while building confidence in their sailing, so they continue to improve and work towards their next RYA Stage certificates.

Once they have reached a curtain level of ability the Chief Instructor will invite them to join the Club’s Race School program if they accept they will be working on the skills require to join firstly the Club racing but also look to enter the regional event as well.
