Off season is one of the times when our thoughts turn to learning and development. For those organisations involved in the Sailability programme, there are several offers which may be of interest.

Disability awareness

The confidence and knowledge needed to help create an environment where disabled people feel welcomed, safe and self-confident to be able to take part. Organisations can deliver their own face to face sessions using RYA resources. Flexibility is built in - add your own content, choose how long it needs to be or the number of sessions.

Hoists and manual handling

If you have a hoist, or you support sailors getting in and out of boats, there are two options.

1. Hoist competency - a one-day course to equip you with a general set of principles to use when operating a hoist and enabling you to share this knowledge with others at your venues.

2. Moving and handling - a three-day course for people who wish to run in-house training and inductions to volunteers at their own venue. It covers all aspects of safe moving and handling and is for people who have experience of hoisting and are confident in delivering training 1:1 or in small groups.

Session Lead

A one-day course in the classroom providing a framework for creating a positive safety culture during sessions on the water focussing on people, practices and documentation.
