The perfect introduction to sailing an offshore yacht, either for your
clients or staff. A typical day begins with coffee or breakfast at the
marina in Hamble. This is followed by a safety briefing and an
introduction to the basics of sailing by the skipper aboard one of our
sigma 38s. These popular cruising yachts are ideal for up to eight
guests.
After the initial briefing and
familiarisation with the boat, groups are soon heading out to sea. Once
under way everyone is given the opportunity to become an integral part
of the sailing team by working together to keep the boat on course,
practising sailing techniques and gaining confidence.
At the end of a mornings sailing, boats
are either anchored or moored together for lunch on board or, if
preferred, ashore at a yacht club in Cowes or Yarmouth. After lunch
everyone sets off again for an afternoon consisting of a series of
short races. Tasks are continually rotated to give everyone a chance
to experience every aspect of handling an ocean going yacht. Taking
the helm, trimming the sails, hoisting the spinnaker, even a little
navigation!... There's always a job for someone.
The day ends with prize giving back at
the yacht club, a relaxing drink at the bar and an exchange of stories
about the days achievements.
