How to sail with us

To sail with the NLSA, you must be aged 8 or over and:

  • have successfully completed a practical dinghy course at the required level or higher, e.g. RYA National Sailing Scheme Level 2, RYA Youth Sailing Start Sailing Stage 3 or Racing Red, or NSSA Gold Award, or equivalent, or
  • have the windsurfing equivalent of the above, or
  • have been assessed by the Centre sailing staff (or their nominee) as competent to sail a simple course, or
  • if 17 or under and not qualified to be a member in your own right, have a parent or guardian who is a member and sail only in their care and in the same boat as them.

You can then join and sail at Stoke Newington and Brightlingsea.
