All Duke of Edinburgh Award Courses
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is a respected youth programme for ages 14 to 24, promoting personal growth, resilience, and skill development. RYA sailing aligns well with the Award’s aims, offering opportunities to complete the Physical, Skills, and Expedition sections.
RYA courses build confidence and technical ability through structured training in sailing, navigation, and seamanship. Regular sailing improves fitness and teamwork, meeting the Physical section’s goals.
For the Skills section, qualifications like Start Sailing or Day Skipper show progression and commitment. The Expedition section can be met through dinghy or yacht voyages, encouraging self-reliance and collaboration in challenging conditions.
Combining DofE with RYA sailing offers a rewarding experience that builds practical skills, confidence, and a sense of adventure.
