Training

Adults

Naivasha Yacht Club is offers short sailing course twice a year for those who would like to try this wonderful sport.

Places are limited to only 16, so that all participants receive plenty of personal attention. Instruction will be by experienced helmsmen. The course is for adults.

The course will provide an easy introduction to the sport of dinghy-sailing for those who would like to try it for the first time, or for those who have done a little and would like to improve their skills. Training will be on single-handed on Laser dinghies, but participants will also have a chance to crew on the two-man Fireballs as part of the course. Boats will be provided.

By the end of the course, you won't be a fully experienced sailor, but you will have grasped the basics, and had a lot of fun. If you want to continue to learn to sail after that, you will be welcome to apply for membership of Naivasha Yacht Club and come sailing regularly.

The course will consist of two full practical weekends on Lake Naivasha and three evening sessions in Nairobi on the theory of sailing. The weekends at Naivasha will include catering; there will be a cash bar at Naivasha and also at the Nairobi theory sessions.
