    Type of event Experience level:
    1) INTRODUCTORY WEEKENDS
    Ideal for all levels. We meet you on the south coast of the UK. We assess each team member's individual requirements for the weekend and each day sail away at 10 am until 4/5pm, stopping for a spot of lunch. We give you the opportunity to focus on the areas you want to learn about, either from scratch or on specific needs. A fun, casual but educational couple of days on the water.
    Weekends start at £99pppd
    A No experience required - only open minds and sense of humour needed!
    2) RACE TRAINING WEEKENDS
    We focus on the right way to perform your selected role on a race boat so that after a couple of weekends you should feel comfortable to pitch up on a friends boat/on the dock before a race and be confident around a race yacht. Spinnakers are always used so that you will all gain an understanding of the set of the pole and trimming etc. (weather permitting of course!)
    Weekends start at £125pppd
    A - C Ideally some history of being on a boat however NOT essential.
    3) SAILING HOLIDAY at an International race regatta.
    This is one of the easiest categories. We take you to learn how to sail at a fun, racing regatta in some warm, luxurious locations and spend the first couple of days introducing you to the wonderful world of sailing/racing with no pressure or stress. Our expert skipper and tactician/hostess will ensure that the team is ready for some exciting and safe racing (a fantastic experience). You will undoubtedly leave us thinking…if I can do that (and you will have!), then I can do anything!! Advanced options also available.
    Weeks away start at £999ppp/wk (exc. flights).
    A - C Ideally some history of being on a boat however NOT essential. We offer training weekends in the UK pre regatta, so that you can trial sailing or develop your sailing/racing skills further!
    4) RELAXED HOLIDAYS
    Selected locations that are always warm! We sail each day, learning as much as you desire combined with sunning, swimming, snorkeling and general enjoyment of the ocean. Holidays start at £99pppd
    A The easiest category. More relaxed than any of the trips.
    5) RYA SAILING COURSES.
    From Competent Crew to Yachtmaster. We sail out of Town Quay in Southampton using school boats with which to train for certification. These events are great should you wish to bareboat charter on your own, or work in the sailing industry in the future, or simply gain some more qualifications.
    Courses start at £99pppd (based on 5 people sharing, off peak)
    A - C From beginner to advanced. Specific for each course.
    6) ULTIMATE CHALLENGES!
    These events are a move on from all categories. Sail 3000 miles across an ocean, race offshore facing the wrath of the elements, challenge yourself to the limit. Prices available on request.
    Experience of sailing and a willingness to be offshore as the races are pretty tough, physically and mentally.
    7) GROUP SAILING!
    You get a group together of friends/family etc. Call one of our team to discuss ideal location for your fun weekend/sailing/racing etc. We do all the rest!
