Our own 1-hour course demonstrating how to sail a boat upwind and downwind. There should be an opportunity to take the helm, with an instructor onboard at all times. After the taster you can choose from our own, VDWS and RYA courses, paying the difference in costs.

Course and session timing
It is essential that you are ready to go at the start of your session, to avoid limiting the time on the water.
Pre-course experience
