Voyage Highlights
- Plenty of opportunity to learn new skills
- English Riviera
- Learn to sail a traditional gaff rigged sailing boat
During this trip we want you to develop a love of sailing, and the best way to make a start on any boat is to feel you are a vital and competent part of the crew. We will teach you the seamanship skills of steering, setting sails, reefing, and tying knots with conviction! All this whilst enjoying the beautiful English Riviera.
There is a whole new language to learn and by the end of the week you won’t be fazed by terms like sheet, fender, windlass or ‘bear away’ and all the things that make going on board a sailing vessel a bit bewildering and intimidating.
Previous experience:
None. You can be a complete beginner that has never stepped on a boat before.
It is also good for those who have done a bit of yacht, keelboat or dinghy sailing and want to be sure they have the basics to sail bigger boats where you can go cruising and live on board.
