What better way to continue your sailing than at our club nights. Once you have completed your Level One in singlehanders or crewed boats you can use a singlehander. For crewed dinghies or catamarans you need to have completed a level two course, in the appropriate boat. Instructors will be on hand to give ‘top tips’ and provide safety cover and every session will include a free optional coaching clinic. Bookings should be made in advance. Timings are inclusive of changing and rigging.
Please note; we will only cancel a session if the weather conditions make the risks unmanageable. e.g. Strong winds, fog etc.
