These sailing days will appeal to both sailors and newcomers alike. You can spend the day pulling on ropes or helming the yacht, Or just relax and watch all of the excitement from the comfort of your own yacht...
You will join the yacht and meet the skipper/instructor and the other crew. You will be shown around the boat, and, after a safety briefing will set sail.
If you wish you can be involved ‘hands-on’ from the beginning and might even find yourself helming the boat down the Solent.
All Venture Sailing skippers are chosen for their experience, patience and understanding. They will show you how to do everything from the beginning so that you are able to participate right from the start.
Although you will be working and exercising as part of a crew you will be given individual guidance and instruction. As each hour passes you will acquire new skills and grow in confidence.
The atmosphere aboard is relaxed and the emphasis is on having fun – exactly what sailing is supposed to be.
