Our sailing taster sessions are a fantastic way to get started with this exciting sport. We run half day introductions in Laser Funboats where an instructor will guide you through the basics. If you've already caught the bug, then we have courses from beginner all the way up to instructor level and a range of equipment to hire out
Specially designed Laser "Fun Boats" are the perfect way to find your sea legs. Simple, beginner friendly boats which do exactly what they say on the tin!
Take the next step! Whether it's mastering the basics or getting to grips with more advanced techniques, our experienced staff can help you on your way to becoming a better sailor.
All our enthusiastic staff hold Internationally accredited RYA Instructor qualifications.
As a recognised Laser centre we have a huge fleet of equipment - from Bugs and Picos to high performance Asymmetric Dinghies and Cats.
Keep those feet dry - our lifting keel day boats are perfect for groups of any age or ability.
We cater for regular disabled sailors at the centre with our specialised HANSA access dinghies and Challenger trimaran's.

Sailing Taster Session Activity
We'll provide you with a wetsuit (although you'll need your own shoes) and then give you a introductory brief before letting you loose on the water! There'll always be one of our enthusiastic RYA Dinghy Instructors on hand in a power boat to offer tips and keep you safe while you're on the water.

Wetsuits are provided for this activity and you will get changed at the start of your session. Make sure you bring along swimwear for underneath, footwear you don't mind getting wet* and a towel for afterwards. If you don't have swimwear with you, then an extra pair of spare underwear will be fine.
*Old trainers are fine if you don't have wetshoes, however it must be something enclosed which protects the toes, soles and has a closure around the back of the foot so it can't come off.
Sailing Taster Session Activity
There's no strict age limit but during the coronovirus outbreak most activities are suitable for 8 years and upwards.
All kids are different so we don't have a specific age restriction for this activity and would leave it up to the discretion of the parents - you know them best! The boats we use for our taster sessions hold two and we find that most children between 4 and 6 would be happier in a boat with an adult or older sibling. Just phone us if you have any questions about the suitability of this activity for your children - 01556 502011
