RYA youth stage 3 represents the next step of improving independent sailing. Over the span of two days, you will sail solo in your own boat, gaining proficiency in rigging, launching, and recovery manoeuvres, including coming alongside, capsize recovery, and sailing in various directions under moderate conditions. The course also includes brief onshore sessions for additional support.
The Stage 3 course will focus on rigging and launching your boat, recovery techniques, advanced sailing skills, coming alongside, capsize recovery, and sailing theory.
