LYME REGIS SEA SCHOOL

LYME REGIS SEA SCHOOL is based in Lyme Regis, an excellent place to learn to sail with the ancient Cobb Harbour providing easy launching and recovery, whilst the World Heritage coastline is particularly attractive with the town set out against the rolling countryside and cliffs extending to Chesil Beach and Portland beyond.

MISSION STATEMENT

Lyme Regis Sea School is a charity which believes passionately in the life changing experience that sailing can bring about in young people. We believe that sailing is not only an excellent sport demanding both physical and mental skills but is also a platform for the development of life skills which go far beyond the ability to competently sail a boat. These skills include the ability to operate as a member of a team, to communicate effectively, and to provide the leadership needed to manage both resources and people. Few activities provide the opportunity to develop these skills at such a young age and as the students progress through the various levels towards becoming a Senior Instructor, the growth in self confidence becomes very evident. As such we regard the Sea School as a whole package in which the development of the instructional team is as important as the students.

The Sea School was set up in 1995 as a registered charity designated to teach young and older people to sail. Everyone is a volunteer and gives up their time for the enjoyment of the sport. Consequently our fees are low compared with other teaching centres.

The Sea School is an RYA Recognised Training Centre which is annually inspected and abides by all the requirements of the regulatory body. Our first priority is safety at all times and ALL our instructors are fully trained as either Instructors or Assistant Instructors. The Sea School owns over 30 dinghies in a combination of triple, double & single handers and prides itself on making all its courses great fun.

Lyme Regis Sailing Club provides the shore facilities for the sessions. You will find that the club members are very friendly and a pleasant informal atmosphere prevails at all times. We would certainly recommend that you join the club if you intend to continue sailing after the course.

NOTE - Lyme Regis Sailing Club and Lyme Regis Sea School are separate organisations.  Membership of one organisation does not give membership of the other, i.e. if you are a Sailing Club member and wish to use Sea School facilities or join a course, then you must become a Sea School member.  Equally, if you are a Sea School member and wish to use the Sailing Club, then you must apply to become a Sailing Club member.
