Sailing & Windsurfing |
Getting Started Sailing and windsurfing are two great sports for getting you active and outside in the fresh air. They're quick and easy to learn and with the right tuition, you'll have great fun, speed along in no time and you'll probably get wet!...
Once you’ve learnt the basics, you can actively explore your local stretch of water, join a sailing club full of like-minded people, or learn to race.
Already hooked on sailings?
Then it’s probably time to join a local club, where you can enjoy the social side of the sport too, making friends and improving your skills on the water with other enthusiastic sailors.
There are hundreds of RYA affiliated sailing and windsurfing clubs around the country, and whether you live in a city, on the coast or in the countryside, there will be one that’s local to you. Find a local club on the RYA website - click here.
Share your knowledge and skills - become an instructor or coach
Teaching sailing or windsurfing can be a rewarding and challenging career or hobby. The RYA instructor training schemes are progressive - you can develop your skills and qualifications at your own pace by taking endorsement courses, working towards senior Instructor level and, in the case of sailing, ultimately becoming a Coach/Assessor.

Try Volunteering!
A great way of getting involved with sailing and windsurfing is to volunteer at your local club.
