2 spaces left on the RYA Dingy sailing course for veterans in August!

Strange, isn’t it?

Put a veteran in a room and ask them to talk, and we call it support.

Put that same veteran on a boat, give them a challenge, a role, a crew, and a reason to rely on others again…

…and people call it sailing.

Maybe we’ve underestimated what happens when people rediscover purpose, confidence and belonging — not through a programme, but through doing something meaningful together.

On the 15th & 16th August, Veterans Connect North is taking veterans onto Lake Windermere for an RYA Level 1 Dinghy Sailing Course.

The true cost of this experience is £400 per person.

Thanks to support, veterans pay just £100, which includes:

Two days RYA Level 1 Dinghy Sailing

Saturday night accommodation

Food included

Time alongside other veterans who understand

No pressure.

No judgement.

No sitting staring at four walls.

Just wind, water, teamwork — and perhaps a reminder of something many veterans thought they’d lost.

A crew.

Because sometimes the best support doesn’t look like support.

Sometimes it looks like sailing.

Two places remaining - don't miss out -

One week tomorrow and we at Veterans Connect North are holding our first RYA Powerboat Level Two course.

As it stands we have ...

1 place left on Junes powerboat course.

5 places left on Septembers powerboat course.

1 place left on dingy sailing.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain a National recognised RYA Powerboat qualification.

📅 June 13th and 14th 2026 | Lakeside YMCA

💷 Only £100 (normally £300–£400)

🔒 Veterans only | Only 1 spaces available

Accommodation included Saturday Night plus Food

Here's why veterans are snapping this up:

✅ Walk away with a nationally recognised qualification that opens doors to safety boat roles, water sports volunteering, and marine opportunities — on your CV for life.

✅ Two days of hands-on theory AND practical boat handling, meaning you leave with real confidence on the water — not just a certificate.

✅ At £100 all-in, this is the most affordable route to an RYA qualification in the country right now — a saving of up to £300 on the standard course price.

9 places. That's it.

Only One Veteran Can Take This Seat on the Powerboat Course

In June, a small group of veterans will leave the shore and spend two days learning skills most people never get the chance to experience.

Not because they need a powerboat licence.

But because there's something deeply satisfying and calming about being on the water, making decisions under pressure and discovering you're still capable of learning something entirely new.

The qualification is useful.

The experience is unforgettable.

One heavily subsidised place remains.

📍 Lakeside YMCA Cumbria
📅 13th–14th June
💷 £100 (normally £300–£400)
