BLSA Instructors Courses

Speedsail and Blokart Courses

Our BLSA coaching courses have been developed over many years.  They aim to give good practical advice to both novice sailors and would be instructors for Blokarting or Speedsailing.

The BLSA course structure consists of a Level 1 basic introduction to sailing course for either Speedsail or Blokart, this can then be followed by the level 2 introduction to racing.  Before attending the level 2 course a period of time should be spent practicing basic manoeuvres so that you can competently tack and gybe.

Instructor Courses  

Instructional courses start with the Blokart or Speedsail 'Assistant Instructor'.  This is for the less physically able person to be able to become involved in a support role.  All theoretical areas of the course will be covered, in particular the safety aspects of running a course.

The 'Instructor 1' is designed to allow a person with this level of qualification to teach basic sailing techniques.  This level is often used by activity groups and schools.

The 'Instructor 2' requires a high level of personal sailing as good quality demonstrations will be given.  The aim is to develop a students ability to race levels.
