Description

Set sail for the Solent with an exciting nautical experience run from the picturesque village of Hamble, famous for its yachting pedigree. This fun-fuelled sailing day usually takes place with two Clipper 60s competing and is great for both beginners and those with experience. Following refreshments and safety briefing, help the crew prepare the boat before motoring out onto the Solent for a morning of training. After lunch (served under sail), it’s all hands on deck – take a turn on the wheel, trim the sails and change sails on the foredeck as you put the yacht through its paces, racing against each other on the open water to become champions of the day! Once a winner is declared, sails are dropped and everyone cruises back to the marina.
