Assuming your from the UK, meaning you dont need a VISA/passport/whatever, I dont think you would need any licences or qualifications to sail a small boat. As long as its sailing only, because you will need a boat licence if you plan to use a motor, and the boat is small you dont need anything. Its a good idea to get some advise and maybe even do a couple of courses (the RYA would run courses) so you aren’t a total novice when you start sailing, but other than that just get out there and have fun. I know i dont need any qualifications or licences in Australia to sail a dingy, but in order to race i need to be a member of Yachting Australia, the state organisation running the event and the yacht club i sail out of. If your planning on taking up the sport, maybe joining a yacht club would be a good idea.
