Sail Trim and Boat Handling Weekend
Duration : 2 Days
Start from: Royal Clarence Marina, Gosport
Sailing area: Solent (Chichester Harbour to Lymington)
Type of Yacht: New Dehler 39SQs No. of Students: 5:1

The one thing that can ruin the best day on the water is when mooring the boat up goes wrong with the whole marina watching you.

This weekend will give you the confidence to moor your boat up in the tightest spot and understand some of the finer points of manoeuvring in a small place.

Most people think Sail Trim is a black art but over this weekend it is put into layman's terms and simplified so it is easy to understand. You will be amazed at how much quicker you can sail after a few small adjustments shown to you on this course!

You will learn how to set up the spinnaker and trim it, not covered in any RYA course. Some aspects of this course are weather dependant. If the wind is too strong for the spinnaker the weekend will still run but the emphasis will be on boat handling.
