Learn To Sail

Description

This fun, quick blast try sailing session is aimed at adults or children over 10yrs with no to little sailing experience or anyone who has tried it but with very limited knowledge. In this session you’ll cover sailing across the wind and tacking (180 degrees turn). These sessions will be run in our Laser Stratos Keel Boats.


Our Stratos dinghy is a larger boat which fits up to 3 people with an instructor. It has a keel which keeps it upright, this means participants shouldn't expect to get wet (unless it rains of course). The Stratos also has much more room compared to smaller single handed dinghies, this offers more of a comfortable trip.


You'll need to bring some waterproofs in case it rains and some shoes that you don't mind getting damp!


These sessions are suitable for those aged 10+



What to bring

  1. Warm Clothes
  2. Waterproofs
  3. Old trainers/wellies
  4. Warm layers
  5. Gloves/hat
