Dinghy Sailing courses for all ages and ability, delivered by our Qualified RYA Dinghy Instructors with enthusiasm and professional local knowledge. All our courses aim to help you improve your skills and take into account your personal requirements.

We operate from the comfort of St Catherine’s Sailing club with recently qualified RYA instructors.

Using Optimist, Pico, Feva and Omega sailing dinghies we are able to tailor your learning programme to suit your physical ability and learning levels.

Our courses start for 8 year old children, but families might like to bring younger members if they are accompanied on a course. (Check the Families course at the end of August)

Bookings open to fully paid up members from Monday 23rd February 2026.

http://webcollect.org.uk/scsc for booking and further details.

1. The person who will attend the course must be a current SCSC member (temporary or ordinary).  You will only be able to apply for a place if you are on our current membership database and priority is given to Ordinary members. If you are not sure please log on to Webcollect and check whether your subscription is current.
2. All bookings will take place on our new Webcollect system and payments will be made using bank transfer.  The lessons are only visible once you have logged on to Webcollect.
3. Full payment is required at the time of booking. Once confirmation of a place is received from Tony Cavey Training, refunds are not possible. Sailing, powerboat or first aid lessons missed, or courses cancelled, cannot be refunded or exchanged for alternative dates as our courses are mostly fully booked. In the event of lessons cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, we will endeavour to offer one alternative date.  We are a non profit making training centre administered by volunteers.
