Overview

The Dinghy Instructor Course will teach you all the necessary skills to become an RYA Dinghy Instructor. It will also prepare you for work as a professional or club instructor.

The Dinghy Instructor Course is designed for intermediate sailors who already have basic dinghy sailing skills. The course aims to help sailors gain confidence, improve sailing techniques, and ultimately become an RYA Dinghy Instructor.

A 4-week course in Sydney, Australia, with great sailing conditions, warm water, sunshine, and beautiful scenery.

The course includes personal tuition, RYA Powerboat Level Two training, rescue training, seamanship skills, and a first aid course.

The final part of the course is the RYA Dinghy Instructors course, where participants can demonstrate their sailing skills and teaching style. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive RYA publications and certificates.

Location

The course is held at Middle Harbour Yacht Club on Sydney Harbour, offering a stunning location for the Dinghy Instructors Course. The weather is generally warm, sunny, and windy. There are plenty of stunning sandy beaches for you to sail to. As well as the sailing, there is plenty to do, fantastic nightlife, and lots to see and explore.

Sydney is a fantastic place to escape to for the winter. Many of our customers travel and explore before and after the course. Sydney is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and great tourist destinations, with Manly being one of them.

Manly has lots to offer, with friendly people, stunning bars and restaurants, and only a 30-minute ferry ride to the Sydney Opera House and the heart of the city center.
