Through our Dinghy and multihull Instructor Course, you will learn everything a competent Royal Yacht Association (RYA) Sailing Instructor requires. Upon successful completion of the training, you will be prepared and qualified to work as a club or professional Dinghy and Catamaran Instructor anywhere in the world.
Who is the course for?
The Dinghy Instructor Course is for perfect for all levels of sailors whether you’ve just dipped your toes in the world of sailing or are already a competent sailor. Regardless of your level, throughout the course you will develop your sailing ability to an instructor standard, learn the theory behind sailing, and build the teaching skills necessary to instruct future students.
The first two weeks of the course cover and recap the basics of dinghy and multihull sailing, including seamanship, how to use a spinnaker, and the theories behind dinghy sailing. You’ll be on the water very quickly, sailing downwind, with your spinnaker flying.
All RYA Dinghy Sailing modules get covered during the course, from Day Sailing to Performance Sailing.
This course is ideal if you are getting back into sailing, are a complete beginner, or want to refresh your skills

Dinghy training takes place in two 3-hour slots; one before lunch and one afterwards. Each training day concludes with a debriefing session at 5 pm. On completion of the debrief each day, the equipment is available for you to use.
The stunning island of Lefkada and downtown Vassiliki are available to explore on Saturday, your day off from dinghy training. There are plenty of exciting things to do and see. Indeed, after sundown, the bars and restaurants of Vassiliki spring to life. Hopefully, you’ll join us at one of the legendary Club Vass and Wildwind BBQs and shows. Previous attendees have said you should not miss these!
