Course description: The Stage 3 & 4 course enables youngsters to develop the skills, knowledge and teamwork to sail a double-handed boat as crew or helm, and solve a variety of problems afloat. Achieving Stage 4 is an entry point into the more advanced sailing modules, such as sailing with spinnakers.

RYA Scheme: At Frensham we teach all four stages of the RYA Youth Sailing Scheme. Stages 1, 2 and 3 are taken in single-handed dinghies (Optimists for 8-10 year olds and Toppers for 10-14 year olds). Stage 4 requires a two-handed dinghy (a Cadet or Feva) for 10-14 year olds.

We also teach up to Level 3 of the Adult RYA National Sailing Scheme.
