Mylor Sailing School Mylor Yacht Harbour, Falmouth, Cornwall. U.K TR11 5UF Tel: 01326 377633 Email: info@mylorsailingschool.co.uk Get Sailing Dinghy Sailing Much of our tuition takes place aboard single or double handed dinghies, with an instructor aboard or close by to guide you through those early stages. Our Laser 2000s are a great training boat and optional asymmetric sailing for more exciting sailing. Our 16 foot Wayfarer dinghies are of a tried and tested design, still the popular choice of many sailing schools. The boats are roomy and stable, yet responsive and manoeuvrable, making the class an ideal teaching boat. The more experienced sailors can take advantage of the Laser 2000s with asymmetric sail, more performance orientated this boat will give a great introduction into spinnaker sailing. The younger sailors and smaller adults may use our Picos or Toppers with specially designed sails to reduce power, making life easier and the boat more stable. A popular choice for the solo sailor. Children seem to get more from the group atmosphere of our holiday courses (N.B novice sailors will still benefit from our small student/instructor ratios, even on these courses). We also run children’s expedition sessions on Sundays. This is Swallows and Amazons’ for real - climb aboard, hoist the Jolly Rodger, and set sail for an unknown shore.  More fun, more adventure, more of a holiday!

Younger Sailors begin by working their way through the Start Sailing Courses (Stages 1-4), and then on to Advanced Sailing Badges, with racing and seamanship options running individually or side by side. The National Sailing Scheme is progressive - you cannot learn the more advanced skills until the basics have been mastered. There are seven different stages covering all the skills required by the fully competent dinghy or keelboat sailor.
