The Norfolk Broads School of Sailing, in association with Eastwood Whelpton, offers a wide range of courses at Upton using the Royal Yachting Association's National Sailing Scheme. The scheme covers all aspects of yacht sailing on inland waters, from 'Start Sailing' to 'Advanced Techniques'.
If you have never sailed before, don't be put off, this is the way to start!
With just a few days personal coaching you will be able to develop the skills required to become a capable skipper enjoying the freedom to sail the Broads network with confidence.
If you already sail but would like a refresher or want to increase your boating skills and sailing performance we can help you with your own personal sailing plan or with RYA advanced courses.
The 'Start Sailing' course, taken over a short break aboard one of the bermudian rigged yachts from the Upton fleet, will introduce beginners to the joys of sailing, while those with some experience can try a 'Basic Skills' module to develop their knowledge. Other modules, covering passage making and seamanship skills, can be taken on the more advanced yachts. All courses are extensively practical and also include an element covering specific Broads sailing skills.
