RYA Dinghy Sailing School, Wales

Our Sailing Courses:
Originally dedicated to boat maintenance, building and repair, Solva Sailboats sailing school was set up in 1986 because the workers wanted to be out in the fresh air. RYA Recognition followed in 1990 and since then hundreds of individuals have learnt to sail starting out from our base on Trinity Quay. We aim to provide highly professional tuition combined with the flexibility that stems from being one of the smallest sailing schools in the country. Weather permitting we are prepared to sail throughout the year and are happy to provide tuition in your own boat if that is what you want. Our own fleet is small, constantly updated, well-equipped and carefully chosen to provide a variety of water-borne experience.Tuition is always in groups of three or less and we will sometimes run courses simply for one person.

A small crack in the rocks on the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, once a thriving trading port and still an active fishing harbour. The inlet itself is difficult to sail in because of the high cliffs, but once outside Black Rock the wonder of St Bride's Bay is revealed. 30 Square Miles of open water often without another boat in sight, without obstructions or strong tidal streams. A wonderful place to learn how to handle a boat.
