What Can I Expect
Taster sailing in Poole - one-day courses ideal for beginners! An excellent introduction to what sailing a small dinghy is all about, with lots of hands on time at the helm.
This RYA accredited training centre in Poole hosts hundreds of guests every year who want to get their first taste of sailing. It has an excellent set up for total beginners, which is why we've selected to offer the 'Have A Go' sailing day.
Based in the middle of one of the most stunning boating areas in the country, it doesn't get much better than this, as you sail in one of the school's dinghies around what is Europe's largest natural harbour.
Thanks to the natural layout of the land, these are some of the UK's safest sailing waters and are ideal for getting to grips with a dinghy. This Poole-based school has a fleet of Wayfarer, Pico and Laser dinghies to sail (for the uninitiated, these boats are popular for both training and racing in!).
After mastering launching techniques, the next step is to get sailing your dinghy in a straight line, with factors like the wind direction, tides, currents and other craft out on the waters around Poole.
You'll be given some excellent sailing tips, such as keeping focused on a fixed point in the direction you want to go, like a rock on the beach. Now you've got the basics, you'll continue to learn and progress.
Dates are offered from spring until the end of the autumn and everything you need is included in the price. All you have to do is turn up ready to learn your starboard from your port and get acquainted with wind directions and main sails.
Enough of our tips and hints, the best way to discover dinghy sailing for yourself is to buy a taster sailing voucher and get booked on to this full day session in Poole!
