All Adult courses are taught to the RYA National Dinghy Sailing Scheme that caters for those who are of age 16 and over.

At Frensham we offer 3 Levels with Levels 1 & 2 for complete beginners, and Level 3 for those who have the basic skills and wish to develop these further while also gaining an introduction to racing. After attaining Level 2 you will be able to sail unsupervised in light winds.  Level 2 or equivalent experience (as judged by a Senior Instructor) should be considered as the entry criteria for the Level 3 course.
