Издание на английском языке
Welcome to sailing! I am thrilled to be able to guide you through your first steps into such an amazing and enjoyable sport.
Sailing is truly a sport for all, offering something for everyone, regardless of age and ability. The RYA scheme has been designed to help you progress easily and accessibly.
The RYA National Sailing Scheme is run at RYA Training Centres around the UK and overseas, all of which have been independently inspected to create a safe and enjoyable learning environment.
RYA Start Sailing is designed as an accompaniment to the RYA Start Sailing Level 1 and Basic Skills Level 2 courses as well as a reference tool assisting you with your first times afloat. Each chapter will guide you through essential information on areas key to learning the sport, including rigging, launching, and turning the boat.
