Training
Are you planning to take RYA Day Skipper training? If you become a member at SailTime Ipswich or SailTime Medway, you can skipper your own yacht, enjoy own boat training and build your experience for a lot less than you might imagine!
If you are a complete novice, or if you do not already have the Day Skipper qualification or equivalent experience, we can help you achieve Day Skipper on your SailTime boat. We arrange for RYA approved instructors to provide individual sail training to you aboard your yacht to suit your schedule, allowing you to rapidly gain confidence and experience. We can also train your family and friends to Day Skipper or Competent Crew standard for a minimal additional cost.
SailTime membership guarantees a minimum of 6 weeks sailing a year on a well-equipped yacht that you sail as your own. You book your boat online and spend the minimum amount of time arranging your sailing — just point, click and sail! You can sail at short notice, book up to 12 months in advance, and can re-arrange your bookings with no penalties.
To become a Sailtime member we require you to have reached the RYA Day Skipper Tidal qualification, or can demonstrate a competence at or above this level. We strongly believe that this standard is the minimum that will enable you to feel confident in handling your yacht and to enjoy your sailing with family and friends.
All new members, of whatever standard, also benefit from a two-day induction programme to ensure that they are familiar with their boat and the local waters before heading off on their own.
