Try Sailing
Try sailing with our 2-hour taster sessions. One of our experienced sailors will take you out onto the water to have a go, and see what it's all about. See how the sail powers the boat along, try your hand at steering, and by the end of the session you should have a good idea if you want to join one of our courses to learn more about it.
