Training

Learn to Sail

We are a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) approved training centre, and offer courses that lead to internationally-recognised RYA certificates. These courses are open to all members who have reached the age of 8 by the time lessons start.


As a part of the Clyde Cruising Club, we also provide a pathway to the wider world of yacht sailing and racing.


You can learn to sail or improve your skills on Bardowie Loch, with classes available for children  and adults in the following formats:


  • Evening Classes – a block of lessons held in the evening, on Monday, Wednesday or Friday for beginners to advanced
  • Summer School – daytime lessons over five days, which can be a great introduction for beginners or a chance for experienced sailors to improve their technique


The evening classes are £170 for a 10-lesson block in 2025. Summer school is not yet open for booking but will be £170 for a block of 5 days training. Both require annual membership to be paid (individual and family options are available).

 

See the currently available classes here. To book onto a course you will need to create an account and login.


If you have questions about sailing lessons or training generally, have a look through the FAQ, get in touch or feel free to come down to the club for a chat when it is open (weekday evenings from April to October are best) and ask for the steward. You can also check the club calendar for the next open day (typically late April or May).


Other organizations which use our facilities for training include the University of Glasgow Sailing Club, the University of Strathclyde Sailing Club and Glasgow Sea Cadets.


Be Encouraged

We know sailing can seem daunting at first, but we have excellent safety cover, enthusiastic instructors, and you don't have to spend much to get started.
