About 1st ScotSail Training?

Scotland’s west coast is a fantastic place to learn to sail with plentiful supply of sheltered anchorages and havens. Here on the Firth of Clyde, Largs provides the perfect setting to start to learn to sail or gain more experience. No matter the weather, we can usually go to sea and reassure students there will be a comfortable place to end the day. Sailing satisfaction will be greatly enhanced and your ability as crew or skipper more respected, if you know how to do things properly. The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) voluntary training scheme is the finest anywhere in the world as it sets and provides the standards for others.

Scotsail’s head office is in Largs Yacht Haven, Scotland. 1st ScotSail Training is the appointed training division of ScotSail which has full RYA recognition..
