    Board a modern Sigma 26ft performance yacht - impressive and highly manoeuvrable. Meet your instructor and fellow crew members first and get kitted out, then head out to the yachts for a safety briefing. Training includes hoisting sails, helming and practising the most efficient methods of steering and guiding the yacht. Next you'll be briefed on the rules of the race which takes place on a floating 'race track', and it's all hands on deck for that. You'll be part of the team and participate fully in crewing the yacht during the race, putting into action everything that you've been taught. Afterwards return to the clubhouse for race results and logbook signing (for those who have been bitten by the bug and want to take their sailing further).

    • Spend a fun half day racing on the sea!
    • Instructors teach novices the basics and share knowledge with the more experienced
    • Culminates in an exhilarating racing finale, pit your wits against the opposition and elements
    • Return to the marina for a winners presentation

    Weather

    Sailing is a weather dependent activity and strong winds or rough seas will have an impact on the day. It's vital that you call the venue the day before your booking to confirm conditions and go ahead.

    Spectators are welcome to come down to the pontoon and wave you off. The race can be viewed from the breakwater or the beach.

    Dress Code

    Dress warmly and wear flat, soft and light-soled, non-marking shoes, eg deck shoes or trainers. We recommend lots of layers, even in summer it can get cold out at sea. Bring an anorak and sun protection. Life-jackets and sailing gear is provided.
