RYA Sailing Scheme

The RYA Sailing Scheme is a recognized training and certification program for sailors, primarily in the UK. It offers structured levels of instruction that develop skills for safe and confident boat handling, navigation, and seamanship. The scheme covers types of sailing vessels, from dinghies to larger yachts, and provides both practical training and assessments. Achieving different levels, like Competent Crew or Yachtmaster, demonstrates your proficiency and can enhance confidence and employability in sailing. It ensures safety standards are met and helps sailors progress from beginner to advanced skills in a clear, standardized way.
