ABC SAILING
ABC SAILING Charter Holidays
RYA Day Skipper Theory courses in Surrey

Where?

Classes are held at the beautiful Tanyard Hall on the A25 midway between Guildford and Dorking at Gomshall. It is easy to find and parking is free.

Tanyard Hall has been updated to the highest standards with carpeting, good heating and clean, modern facilities. It is a far more comfortable and welcoming environment than the
adult education classrooms or portacabin options offered by some.

What?

You will learn about tides, navigation, weather forecasting, safety and much more.

Who?

Complete novices or those with some experience are welcome, whether you plan to go yachting, motor boating or jet skiing.

When?

Evening. On Monday evenings from 12th January 2009 for eleven weeks and then Saturday 28th March

School run daytime. Fridays 9.30am - 2.30pm for nine weeks from 16th January 2009.

How much?

Costs are £325 per person. This very competitive rate is possible because ABC Sailing is a theory specialist RYA sea school not a massive commercial venture with lots of yachts to maintain. With prices so competitive please book early to avoid disappointment.

How?

ABC Sailing is run by a dedicated Principal, Rupert Hugh Emerson.

Rupert is a patient trainer with enormous experience that extends beyond sailing, so he brings with him modern training techniques that make learning fun. We work in pairs, groups and individually, adapting the pace of learning for different people. You will not feel under pressure. You will enjoy the learning and relish the interaction with your fellow students.

Find out more about Rupert by visiting www.kippatravels.com or buy his book, 'Skippering Kippa, a virgin voyage around Britain', available directly from ABC Sailing for £12.95 plus post and packing.

High Tide Sailing
High Tide Sailing Charter Holidays
We use Westerly Yachts, not the less sea-kindly modern lightwieghts favoured by many other schools. Both are fully coded to MCA/RYA standards for operation in the Plymouth area and across the Channel.
One vessel is a ketch, the other a sloop. Both Gypsy Moth IV & Lively Lady, the first two single-handed round the world yachts of Sir Francis Chichester and Sir Alec Rose are ketches. A ketch can give a flexibility of sail set not found on a sloop.

We offer RYA Training - both Practical and Theory Courses.

We also offer seven day fully catered gourmet sailing cruises, with the added availability of RYA Practical Training Course if required. These will cruise either the West Country, or the coast of Brittany and the Channel Isles. Contact us for further details.

Mustang Sailing
Mustang Sailing Charter Holidays
Shorebased theory in central Sussex, sailing on the Solent.

Mustang Sailing offer the full range of RYA navigation theory and one-day specialist courses at Ringmer nr Lewes in central Sussex, and all the RYA practical sail courses in the Solent, sailing from Universal Marina on the Hamble.

Mustang offer high quality courses to small groups of students. We restrict course numbers and engage only those instructors capable of delivering courses in an engaging and cordial manner.

We?re not running a high volume ?production line?, we train individuals, people who know what they want ? quality training, a comfortable atmosphere and a nice setting.

Classrooms in the countryside mean peace and quiet, big boats, nice instructors and only four students to a practical course mean more time hands-on and more learnt.

Our training centre at Ringmer nr Lewes is ideally placed for students in Sussex, Kent and London. Good road and rail links make us easy to get to.

International students flying into the London Airports get here quickly via the rail link to Lewes, only a ten minute taxi ride away from our training centre. Local accommodation is close by and available to suit all tastes and budgets.

Own boat tuition, whether a full RYA course, boat handling or electronics training we can put a great instructor onboard to teach you on your boat, using your kit, from your berth at your convenience.

One to one courses, even at short notice can often be arranged.

An owner-driven business we give unbiased advice freely and can be surprisingly flexible on course dates. Call Tricia to check us out on 08456 809 069 or click the link to our website.

Support Courses

First Aid VHF/SRC

Our motto is sailing made simple, and as far as the theory of navigation and seamanship is concerned that is our aim. Whether you prefer power or sail our courses provide an easy step by step way to learn. With a Tiller course you can also be assured that all material is current. RYA coursework is updated annually, and we continuously revise our courses to incorporate these and other changes. Our administration and support packages are unparalleled ? we?ll help you plan your study, allocate you a tutor and give you access to our online student resources free of charge. This means you can download and work directly on your course material, check for course updates, look up answers to problems you?ve encountered, and review the status of your coursework and the grades you?ve achieved.

Convenient though all this is, it shouldn?t and doesn?t replace human contact: we have a helpline available to all students by phone or email. What?s more, you?re welcome to visit us and have exercises and exams marked on demand at no extra charge; and we?re happy to discuss and arrange personal tuition. Some may call us old fashioned for still labelling our products as correspondence courses but that is what we do. We correspond with our students many of whom we regard as our pen pals around the World.

Our courses cover all the RYA theory from Basic Navigation and Safety to Yachtmaster Ocean with a handy multi course package combining the Day Skipper and Yachtmaster Offshore courses giving a saving of 10% on the combined cost. Savings can also be made by studying in groups of two or more with each additional student saving about 15% on the cost of the basic course.

Finally we also teach First Aid and VHF/SRC at our base in Guildford, Surrey but can travel to clubs or groups by arrangement.

weather2sail
weather2sail Charter Holidays
A One Day Specialist Weather Training Course For all Sailors, including all those Taking RYA Day Skipper to Yachtmaster exams.

An Ideal way to boost your knowledge
Simon Jinks, Chief Cruising Instructor RYA.
Recommended by Tom Cunliffe.

Taught by fully qualified, professional, Met.Office trained meteorologists from WeatherQuest at the University of East Anglia, who provide forecasts for The Times and BBC TV East Anglia.

OBJECTIVES

To make a significant contribution to personal safety at sea.
To assist sailors in making the best use of weather and weather windows.
To study micro-scale weather as it affects small craft and passage planning.
To extend knowledge at all levels.
To update knowledge of sources of information.
To emphasise in particular the prediction of wind.
To emphasise the practical application of knowledge.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY

New technology masks the importance of personal skills in prediction. Forecasts sometimes differ, predicted progress of weather systems vary and selecting from the wealth of information is difficult. Technology can go wrong (usually at crucial times!) and no public forecasts predict all events at the mesoscale - the area in which most of us do our sailing.

LEARNING MATERIAL

The course includes: a fully illustrated learning pack with note-taking boxes adjacent to each subject laminated identification cards of weather features for on deck predictions a pre-course pack covering fundamental principles, illustrations and recommended reading.

COURSE DATES:

Sat.9th & Sat.16th.January 2010
(the weekends of the London Boat Show)

Where: modern, high class venue at Canary Wharf.
