On this course you get the chance to try all types of small boat sailing, starting with the Laser Stratos or Laser 2000 with an instructor onboard with you.

 

As soon as you feel confident with basic skills such as rigging, launching, landing, tacking, gybing and sailing to windward, your instructor will then coach you from a safety boat. After two days double-handed sailing we'll then introduce you to single-handed sailing, using stable dinghies such as the Pico.
