A short introduction to sailing for complete beginners
For an introduction to sailing why not participate in our own ‘START YACHTING’ course? The majority of our students learn more than they imagined possible and for those with no or little sailing experience but who like the idea of joining a flotilla for their holiday this is an ideal opportunity.
The Start Yachting’ course is for a minimum of two days. You will receive a Course Completion certificate, which is widely recognized.
