  • Description

    Please note the session duration has allocated time for changing in and out of your water kit (wetsuit/Buoyancy aid), allowing roughly 20 minutes either side for this to happen.


    You'll spend approximately 2 hours on the water developing your sailing skills whilst under the supervision of an instructor. This session is aimed at those who have either completed a sailing taster session or would like to refresh previously learnt sailing skills. This is a group session and the instructor will help give you tips, advice and guidance on topics that are of interest to you, to improve your sailing skills.


    The minimum age for this session is 8 years old. 8 - 16 year olds must have a responsible adult aged 18+ accompanying them and participating in the session.


    Please be aware this is not a certificated course.


    We also have Sailing taster sessions and RYA sailing courses available.


    Weather:

    Safety is our number one priority. In the event of poor weather conditions (e.g. strong winds or thunder and lightning) or other incidents we reserve the right to restrict water access to particular user groups, restrict the area available for activities, cancel sessions or close the lake. We will endeavour to give advance notice whenever possible; however sometimes decisions need to be made at short notice. If we close the lake, we will add a message to our website and endeavour to contact all customers impacted to offer the opportunity to reschedule their session or receive a refund.

Nice place for a walk and a coffee. Would have given 5 stars but for parking ticket system.
