For more information on when, where and what’s involved, please call Alex herself on 07597 908904.

Taster sessions are approximately two hours long and comprise of a brief introduction to the sport and equipment before going afloat on our beautiful reservoir.  These sessions are a great way to try the sport for the first time and are a great gift idea for anyone looking for something a little different!

For those keen to progress their skills, Alex runs RYA courses in sailing and windsurfing.  Courses run over two days, taking you through the RYA practical and theory syllabus, guiding you towards your proficiency goals.

If you have not sailed for a while or have a specific area of the sport you want to hone your skills in, Alex’s one-to-one coaching sessions could be the thing for you. Just give her a call to discuss your aims and get a one-to-one training session tailored to you.
