We have formed an exciting partnership with the University of Southampton, who also run training courses from our club.
They are a formal RYA Training Centre, and offer all the relevant sailing and powerboating courses you would expect.
They cater for a variety abilities, whether you be new to stepping aboard a vessel, or a seasoned sailor looking to get your formal qualifications.
RYA Dinghy Level 1 or 2
For SSC Members wishing to obtain RYA Dinghy Level 1 or 2, the university will offer dinghy courses at the 'Southampton Sport Member' price.
