Sailing Training and Coaching

These courses are not for beginners but for sailors who already can control their boat competently.

These sessions are aimed at building on your boat handling skills, to better understand tacking and gybing, its balance and how to make the boat move faster. You will also learn trapezing skills if appropriate for your class of boat, spinnaker work and teamwork if on a 2-person boat. You will need your own boat in good working order or book a club boat for the session.
