Orford Sailing Club
Training Programme

Orford Sailing Club runs RYA Dinghy courses, RYA Level 1 and 2 Powerboat courses (planing and displacement), safety and seamanship courses, and provides training for officers of the day and safety boat crews.

Most of our courses are open to the public, although preference will be given to Club members. Orford Sailing Club cannot, by law, train children under 16 who are not members of the Club. However they are welcome to join as junior members without the payment of the usual entrance fee. The annual subscription for junior members is £35.

The club is a recognised RYA Training Centre.
