The Womack Classic gaff rigged cruiser built by Swallowtail Boatyard

ABC Sailing specialises in RYA theory courses. If you are looking for something else contact Rupert Emerson, our Principal, who is also an RYA dinghy and practical yachting instructor.  Rupert teaches dinghy sailing, usually at Weymouth or Christchurch (Hampshire).

Rupert also gives own boat tuition for yacht owners.  He can also help you through the process of choosing and buying a boat, moving it to your preferred location etc.

Our RYA day skipper theory course naturally leads to both the International Certificate of Competence and the RYA practical day skipper course.  Likewise with the Yachtmaster theory to the RYA Yachtmaster qualification.

For powerboating, we can recommend RYA centres.

If you are keen to learn on a gaff-rigged yacht, Rupert can arrange for a week aboard a traditional yacht on the Norfolk Broads. For a relaxing time, bring your watercolours!
