Learn sailing and powerboating at Cramond!

Anyone who would like to learn to sail or drive a powerboat is welcome to join the club and take part in our training activities. If you are new to sailing, our Level 1&2 course covering the two RYA introductory modules is the ideal place to start:
 

Level 1: Start Sailing Covers the minimum knowledge required to get afloat under supervision.

Level 2: Basic Skills Develops your skills to enable you to to sail a dinghy on your own in fair conditions. 

Similarly, the Powerboat Level 1&2 course offers the ideal introduction to powerboating, teaching launching/recovery, mooring and anchoring and all the other boat handling skills required to achieve a basic level of competence.

Apart from a small enrolment fee of around GBP20, CBC makes no charge to take part in its training programme. However, for insurance reasons, all trainees MUST be members of the club. Please see the Membership section on the General tab for details about membership categories and current subscriptions.

Notes
