Adult (18+) Dinghy Sailing Course
The course is aimed for beginners with no sailing experience who want to try something new or sailors with little experience who want to enhance their skills. During the one and a 1/2 day course you will learn the basics of sailing including, parts of the boat, sailing as crew, sailing as a helm and basic seamanship skills. The end goal depending on ability and previous experience is to be able to sail a dinghy by yourself or in a double hander act as competent crew. As well as the sailing it is an enjoyable way to spend time on the sea while trying something different.
