Refresh, Refine, Develop
An ideal pre-charter trip or just a couple of days or a week to keep your hand in; our skills/refresher weeks and weekends provide not only a chance to get out on the water with other like minded individuals, but also an opportunity to go back and practice those skills which you feel are a bit rusty or for which you may be lacking confidence.
Joining the boat the evening before the course starts you will meet the instructor who will discuss with each of you what you'd like to get out of the week/weekend. Working with the tides and weather we'll plan a trip which allows everyone a chance to have some focused coaching in whatever area they need. The mix of people and objectives usually make for a well rounded set of topics and exercises from which everyone benefits.
You will sail to other Solent harbours for one or four nights returning to our Gosport base at the end of the course. For the week long trip, you may well go further afield - weather and tide permitting.
All of our courses are fully inclusive of accommodation on board the evening before the course starts, all meals on board (2 a day plus snacks, evening meal not included on this one), mooring fees and wet weather gear should it be required.
