A truly exhilarating idea for 18th birthday presents!

Fancy yourself as a budding Ellen MacArthur, harnessing nature’s resources and cutting across the water under the power of the wind? Experience the joy of sailing with a half day or a full day course under the guidance of a qualified instructor learning the skills of sailing a yacht or dinghy. On the full day sailing experience, you'll be taught the points of sail, rules of the waves and the gybe. A great introduction to the fun of sailing.
