Sailability and Powerability schemes

The schemes

The schemes can be used sailing a dinghy, a keelboat or driving a powerboat. There is a logbook available for each participant which has two sections:

• Sailing
• Powerboating

The syllabus outlines a series of tasks to become skilled at different levels from trying sailing, mastering the basics, making your own decisions, developing self-reliance and solving problems yourself on the water. 

Who

Anyone going afloat who wants to track their progress, develop their skills and celebrate their achievements. You can join at any level. The scheme dovetails into the internationally recognised RYA Training schemes for sailing and powerboating; the syllabus does not replace these schemes, instead it is a stepping stone that complements and increases accessibility. Rather than improving your understanding and practical ability across a whole course content, the schemes are adapted so you can focus on the tasks and skills you can do, at a pace that suits you.
