Refresh, Refine, Develop
An ideal pre-charter trip or just a couple of days to keep your hand in; our skills/refresher 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 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 another Solent harbour for the Saturday night. Returning to our Gosprt base on Sunday afternoon.
All of our courses are fully inclusive of accomodation on board the evening before the course starts, all meals on board (3 a day plus snacks), mooring fees and wet weather gear should it be required.
