Even though some of you haven't managed to get much sailing in at all this year the onboard fleet at the British Regional Championships is a great opportunity to meet new friends, learn new skills, sail somewhere different and most importantly have FUN! This event will be taking not too far from us so i would definatly reccomend trying to get yourselves booked on.

If you have any questions regarding this please get in touch either via email or just comment/send a message to the page. My email is [email protected].

Hello again guys,
So even though we can't get on the water at this moment in time here is an activity you can do to refine tacking and gybing technique. All you need to complete this technique session is 2 chairs and a stick or broom handle about 1m in length. To set up all you need to do is have both chairs opposite each other and then use the stick/broom handle as the tiller extension, if you want to make it even more realistic you can even get a short bit of rope or string as then mainsheet.

Enjoy and let me know how you get on!

Thanks,
Will

Hi All,
So in this tough time during Covid-19 we have been putting together some activities to help you through these times. So below what I have done is added a few links to different websites which have some activities you can to test your sailing knowledge or a few activities to have some fun with.

This 1st link has a few isolation activities:

The next activity I have for you is a few quiz's to test everyones sailing rules knowledge. The best thing about this quiz is it also explains to you why your answer is right and wrong.

Also why not take the time to think of anything that has been on your mind which you have struggling with theory related or practical related. If you do manage to think of anything why not send us a message so we can make the most out of this time and take part in some extra learning to prepare us for when we can get back on the water! Just remember no question is a bad question whether it is at the beginner level or advanced level.

Any questions please get in touch, keep an eye out for more activities to come!

Enjoy,
Will
