The RYA Training Centre is an integral part of DOSC, providing sailing lessons for everyone - no matter their age, no matter their ability. DOSC has been affiliated with the RYA since 1998, trains over 5000 students yearly, and runs more than 1000 courses every year. We have a dedicated instructor team who, in line with the RYA, deliver high quality sailing courses with the focus of every session to improve the students sailing ability, and develop a love for sailing and the marine environment. We run the 'Learn to Sail' Program for the youth, which is split into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The beginner course takes you through RYA Stage 1&2, bringing you to a point where you can sail a boat under supervision. RYA Stage 3&4 is the basis of the intermediate course, introducing bigger boats, and more technical skills. Once completed, you will be sail confidently alone, and rent a boat to be able to enjoy sailing on your own time. The last of the Learn to Sail course is Advanced, which looks at the RYA Advanced modules, and is designed as a development course. This means there is no specific completion point, as it will continue to develop and improve upon skills. It also introduces new skills, such as spinnakers & racing, and uses a variety of boats.

A staysail is a type of sail that is typically smaller than the main sail on a boat, and is attached to a stay (a wire or rope) that connects to the mast of the vessel. It can be used in a variety of wind conditions, but is particularly useful in stronger winds, when the larger main sail may be difficult to handle. In our case we’re using it because our furler is broken and we can’t use the headsail. Staysails are often used for upwind sailing, and can help to balance the boat by reducing the amount of weather helm (the tendency of the boat to turn into the wind). They can also be used in conjunction with a larger headsail or spinnaker to help control the boat’s speed and direction in varying wind conditions. Staysails are commonly found on sailing yachts and other sailing vessels, and can be made from a variety of materials, including Dacron, Kevlar, and other synthetic fibers. #staysail #sailboat #sailinglife
