Learn to sail in a Keelboat on the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh.
More spacious than dinghies, keelboats also feel more stable because of their fixed keel. And because they’re sailed by a crew, you’re out on the water with other people. If this sounds like your thing, check out our courses, or, if you already have some experience, then you can join in with our Keelboat Development Club.
All our courses follow the RYA (Royal Yacht Association) National Sailing Scheme for Keelboats so there’s a clear pathway of skills and courses to follow.
BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE COURSES:
- Introduction to Keelboating
- RYA Keelboat Start Sailing – Level 1
- RYA Keelboat Basic Skills – Level 2
- RYA Better Sailing – Level 3
- Keelboat Development Club – Sunday

Dinghy sailing to keelboat conversion: Already hold a Dinghy Level 2 certificate or have equivalent experience? You could be eligible to enter the Keelboat scheme at the Better Sailing (Level 3) stage. For further information about the Better Sailing courses please see above or give us a call on 0131 319 1820.
ADVANCED COURSES:
Once you’ve got to grips with the basics, take your sailing further with our advanced modules. You can either focus on one module over a weekend or, if you choose to take part in one of our 5 day skills development weeks, you should aim to cover two of the modules.
The RYA Level 3, or equivalent experience, is a pre-requisite for all these modules. However for some courses you may benefit from having additional experience. If you are unsure, please contact us to discuss suitability.
- RYA Keelboat Seamanship Skills
- RYA Keelboat Day Sailing Course
