Sail Handling Course

General Course Information

Our sail handling courses are aimed at anyone wishing to advance their general sailing skills and awareness on the water.

We will not teach you how to win a yacht race, this day is squarely aimed at cruising sailors of any level wanting to improve boat speed, crew work and sail handling.

We will demonstrate how best to carry out certain manoeuvres safely hopefully leaving you sailing better and faster.

Improve all aspects of your sailing or simply just have a day out on the water.

As this is a practical course & nothing beats doing it for yourself. We therefore deliberately restrict student numbers down to a maximum of 4.

This allows plenty of hands on experience and gives you time to watch and learn from everyone else onboard.
