The courses commence on Friday evening with two night's on-board accommodation normally included. The courses are designed to give a 'taster' of the sport of yachting. The structure of the course will allow you to do as much, or as little as you desire. So, if you want to actively take part in all aspects of sailing the yacht you will be taught all the correct techniques required, or simply relax and let the skipper do the work as you soak up the atmosphere of being at sea.
