What Happens When I Arrive?
Please come in to ScotSail® offices and training centre - a member of staff will greet you, help you with any baggage and ask you to sign-in and complete a short form, to ensure that the details we have for you are correct.
If you are arriving for a practical sailing or powerboat course, you will be introduced to your Course Instructor, and he / she will welcome you and start to give you some information about the upcoming experience.
Once everyone has arrived, you will go to the gate to start boarding your yacht - this will include a safety briefing so it is important to listen carefully.
Don't worry at this stage if you're nervous - the RYA Courses are just that - enjoyable learning experiences - it's not an exam or a test so listen carefully to the Course Instructor and relax!
For RYA Practical Sailing Courses, the first evening is normally spent getting you settled into your cabins / berths, safety briefings and for you to get an idea of where you will be sailing, and what you will be doing.
On the first day of arrival (Fridays/Sundays) you can either eat before you arrive, arrive earlier than check-in and visit one of the restaurants, or wait until after check-in before deciding where to eat.
For RYA PowerBoat Courses, as well as shorebased theory and short specialist courses like VHF Radio, the courses will start right-away and the member of staff who meets you at the centre will likely also be the Course-Instructor, and you will receive the same standard of welcome and introduction.
