Beginner
NOSCA says people are welcome whatever their sailing interest, from novice to Yachtmaster and from boat owner to competent crew.
Training
NOSCA promotes recreation and training, but currently points members to 2nd Meridian RYA training centre for training, refresher or accreditation options rather than presenting in-house courses.
