PRACTICE SESSIONS (3 hours morning or afternoons)
For advanced sailors (not for beginners). These sessions provide an opportunity for sailors to practice skills learned during a recent course, prepare for the next, or just come along and have fun afloat for a few hours.
These are informal sessions without an instructor in the boat. However, one of our team will always be on hand (usually in the safety boat) to give advice and guidance. Previous experience required is TSP Level 2 or NSSA Gold Award.
