One Day Sail Trim & Sailing Manoeuvres From £149
Sailing onto a mooring buoy, reefing, sail trim and man overboard are things we don`t often practise when out sailing day to day, so this one day event will help you practise.  With just 3 students and an RYA sailing instructor we use our 37ft - 38ft training yachts, similar to the one you may have already completed your training on previously with us.  by using the vessels you may already be familiar with, this allows more time for practicing the various skills and drills, to hone your sailing skills further.  The day runs from 9am to 5pm, please bring a packed lunch.
 
One Day Yacht Marina Skills From £149
Returning back to the marina after a great days sailing is often the most daunting part, so lets practise all the skills required to make marina work easier.  Springing on & off in various states of wind and tide, turns in confined spaces, and reversing into a berth, are all covered from 9am to 5pm.  With just 3 students and an RYA sailing instructor we use our 37ft & 38ft training vessels to allow you to further improve both your confidence and skill level.  The day runs from 9am to 5pm, please bring a packed lunch.
