The season is now fully under way and we've only a distant memory of chilly times!  

Sailing has been excellent with wonderful weather. Sunny and breezy with only the odd day or two bringing either too much wind or the occassional heavy shower.

We have been kept busy with lots of guests and running ever more courses.  The 'taster days' being in big demand.  

We've found that a lot of people have tried out sailing on 'taster days'and have then gone on to book RYA courses with us. This seems to be a sensible way to approach sailing if you've had thoughts but are unsure if you'd like it.

We now have a wider range of boats to offer on these one day courses, including half decker yachts.  Check the list of boats on offer for more details. 

For those who have no doubt and have always wished to learn, just jump in on our RYA training courses and get sailing!

We've recently had a couple of post cards from customers who have been sailing in the Greek sunshine on a flotilla holiday.  It was only last year when they first stepped onto one of our boats with no experience at all! 

If you have some experience already and are thinking about a Mediterranean trip, check first if you need an ICC (International Certificate of Competence)  More and more coutries are insisting that the skipper hold this 'ticket' before being allowed to book a boat. It started in Croatia but now Turkey and some companies in the Ionian are asking for them.

If you need help in this area please contact us. We run ICC assessments and also provide tuition in order to enable people to reach the required standard of boat handling and navigation competence.

We are also very pleased to be one of the first schools to run the new RYA Level 3 course which fits in between Level 2 and Seamanship Skills with an extra twist.
