Is this a good place to start sailing then? Trafford water sports centre course dates fell on days when I am busy so I am now looking else where. If anyone knows of THE BEST place to learn to sale in the cheshire area please let me know!!

Cheers

Just heard from leigh and lowton that their september course is booked up and so would have to wait until next year to do the next course - any more suggestions? Otherwise its onto Trafford Water sports in november!

There's a water sports centre in Liverpool, just on the right hand side on the way in to Liverpool Marina

If your in Cheshire - try Budworth sailing club (near Northwich)

Also, West Lancs Yacht Club (southport) does good RYA courses

You can do RYA level 1-3 at West Kirby Marine Lake.

Tried Elton yet?
Going back to your earlier post - if you are thinking of joining a club, see what they offer in terms of membership reductions for doing the course. The crewing job I referred to was to crew in a dinghy - there's normally someone needing crew and a scan of the club notice board would normally find you a ride. Additionally - see if there is a club dinghy you could use from time to time before you rush into purchasing something.

Cheers for all your help guys. I will have to have a shop around and see what is what!

You could try Redesmere Sailing Club just outside Alderley Edge or possibly Errwood Sailing Club in The Goyt Valley between Buxton and Whaley Bridge.

Both are friendly dinghy sailing clubs and are approved RYA Training Centres.

Good luck!
