Singlehanded Dinghy |
Pico, Feva and Funboat |
These boats are sailed solo which means you helm all the time, allowing you to make considerable progress. While a little wetter and more physically demanding than crewed boats, singlehanders do offer the perfect weekend for those with a “go for it” attitude. Your instructor will coach and provide support from a powerboat. |
1:6 |
Crewed Dinghy |
Wayfarer, Stratos, Xenon and Buzz |
These twin sail boats are crewed by up to 3 students. Initially, your instructor will be on board providing immediate feedback and guidance. As you progress (and provided the conditions are suitable) your instructor will move into a powerboat to provide further coaching. |

Not sure if dinghy sailing is for you? Then this short fun session should give you the answer. All specialist equipment is provided and following a short briefing you will soon be afloat discovering the enjoyment and freedom sailing offers. Your instructor will offer instruction and support throughout. By the end of the session, for the vast majority of new sailors it’s YES, I’d like to book a Level One course!
Next season's tasters will be announced in January 2010 |
