As the days cool off and the crowds thin out, autumn and winter offer the perfect conditions for sailors to hone their skills. First Class Sailing has a series of Autumn/Winter Sailing Weekends designed to help both novice and experienced sailors advance their expertise in the unique conditions of the Solent.
Why Autumn/Winter Sailing?
Cooler Weather: Enjoy moderate temperatures that make learning more comfortable for everyone – no more battling the summer heat!
Less Crowded Waters: With fewer boats on the water, you’ll have the space to build confidence at your own pace and perfect techniques without distractions.
Night Sailing: The shorter days create the perfect opportunity to practice night sailing, offering a unique perspective and an essential skill for any sailor.
Theory Courses: Now’s the time to dive into learning with our classroom or online theory courses, covering essential topics like navigation and safety protocols. They even offer evening courses at your office, making it easy to fit learning into your schedule.
Night Sailing Weekend
Navigating by night presents an exciting challenge for even the most experienced sailors. With various light sources ashore, such as traffic signals, building lights and car headlights, spotting buoy lights and correctly navigating requires sharp skills and concentration. This Night Sailing Weekend is the perfect opportunity to develop confidence and gain hands-on experience sailing after dark.
