Description

For extreme sailing with a competitive edge, this keelboat racing experience in Brighton is a must. Split into two teams and go head- to-head on an Olympic-style in an attempt to guide your Delphia 24 to the finish line. Kick things off with a briefing before learning all the sailing basics under the guidance of a seasoned instructor. Once everyone is ready, there’s a tense five minute countdown and then it’s all hands on deck – work with the rest of the crew to hoist the sails and take the helm in an exhilarating close quarters fight to the finish line. To make sure everyone gets the most from their sailing experience, several fun-fuelled races are held throughout the session – do you have what it takes to win?
