Before your lesson begins, we spend a significant amount of time with you planning your lesson (with your crew if you desire). This time is not a part of your lesson and is structured so you receive the best value for money during your lesson. We interview to gauge your ambitions, we plan, then execute, then debrief and finally map a strategy for your future. We taylor the lesson to your boat, your crew and even your bucket list.
Typical subjects include entering and leaving a berth, manoeuvring in tight spaces, equipment assessment, safety aspects, sail trim and speed in varying conditions, nutrition and provisioning, racing ambitions, passage making and pilotage. We have significant experience in destinations such as The Whitsundays, The Mediterranean, The South Pacific and Northern Europe.
