RYA Training offer

Published 16:14 on 3 Jun 2026

Dear members,

I was contacted recently by James Watts, Head of Windermere Outdoor Activity Centre located on Rayrigg Road just north of Bowness. This water sports centre is run by Greenwich Leisure Limited on behalf of Westmorland and Furness Council with the purpose of encouraging community access to the lake and improving water safety. SWSC is part of that community.

James is offering a variety of sailing opportunities including RYA courses all at a substantially reduced cost of 20% to 40% to our members.

Here are some of these courses and prices with the cost in brackets payable by club members.

Powerboat level 2 course, 2 days - £250 (£150)

Sailing tuition per person per day - £197 (£117)

RYA level 1-3, 2 days - £210 (£170)

Individual one to one race training

Please contact the Centre yourself using the details below and stating that you are a member of SWSC.

Finally, please get in touch with me if you like to have a 'free to a good home' Leisure 17 boat which requires a bit of work OR an Iain Oughtred 17 foot sailing boat in very good condition with the offer of a generous discount on the asking price of £3,200 to a club member.

However you like to sail and in what ever floats your boat, it would be lovely to see you out on the water!
