Improvers Midweek Sailing

Improvers is open to all adults who want to build their confidence and improve their sailing skills in an informal and relaxed way. Improvers runs through the year midweek on Wednesdays however, it does not run in the school holidays.

The harbour is extra special to sail in midweek when the waters are quieter. It’s a fantastic opportunity to develop your sailing skills with our experienced instructors.

If you want a hire boat please book one so we can prepare it for you.

Pay as you play – only pay for the sessions you do.

Sessions run from 9:30-12:30 Wednesday Mornings (not in the school holidays)

Review Of Improvers

This is a great session for anyone who wants to improve their sailing techniques and gain confidence.  The group is always friendly and fun, whatever the weather. The instructors are very enthusiastic and flexible and ask if there are any skills you wish to improve upon before going on the water (this includes general sailing techniques, race starts and exploring the harbour). 

I have learnt so much from these sessions and now have the confidence to take part in the Club Races. Next goal is finishing near the front of the fleet!
