Three weeks of free tuition give participants the chance to immerse themselves in sailing and decide whether it’s for them. They are provided with the space and time to get to grips with a new sport and for their families to understand ins and out of what’s involved.
We will run the Try Sailing free three week trial during October, November, December and February. Register your interest by clicking your preferred month.
Please note that only one three week free trial is available per participant per season. Continuation in our Learn to Sail program beyond the trial will require the usual payment of fees and membership.
