Our Ullswater Sailing School runs courses and taster sessions all taught by RYA-qualified instructors in a safe environment under the guidance of Sailing Manager Edmund Clarke. The courses suit all ages and experiences - whether you are a complete novice, a family learning together, or an accomplished sailor who wishes to polish your skills with race coaching.

We have a superb fleet of boats to suit all ages and experience levels including Toppers, Picos, Comets, Fevas, Bahias and Laser Stratos. Our programme runs from March until October with training available most weekdays and weekends. There are great clubhouse facilities, including changing rooms, and ample parking.

Training for club members
UYC has a comprehensive programme for delivery of training for juniors who are club members. The courses run in spring and autumn when youngsters are taught in groups and have a chance to mix and get to know each other. The instructors for these sessions are volunteer club members who are all RYA qualified. Training is also offered to club members of any age or level of skills and is particularly popular with family groups. Training for members is offered at a reduced rate. There is also our annual Sail Camp which is focused on training, as well as fun, and for many of our young members is the highlight of the year.
