Single Member

The cost for RYA Level 1 training is £35 per person. You must be a member of West Riding Sailing Club to take advantage of this low cost and membership fees are £210 per year for a single member. So the total cost for RYA Level 1 Training for new members is £245. RYA Level 2 can be done for a further £35.

Family Membership

If there are several members of your family who would like to learn to sail then family membership is the cheapest option. Family membership is open to families or couples living at the same address. For instance family membership fees are £240 per year. If two members of the same family or couple wish to train then the cost including RYA Level 1 training is £35 per person plus the family membership fee. So the total cost for RYA Level 1 Training for 2 new members of the same family (or couple) is £240 plus £35 plus £35 = £310. This is a saving of £180 over 2 single memberships. RYA Level 2 can be done later in the year for a further £35 per person.

Even considering membership fees the costs of doing RYA Level 1 at West Riding Sailing Club is extremely competitive with commercial enterprises.
