Yes, whether you are a complete beginner or have had a little or a lot of previous experience, there is a suitable class for you. If you are a complete beginner, you will start with the basics of getting on the water and sailing the board across the wind and back. You will then go on to sail around a course practising tacking and gybing, enabling you to make progression towards and away from the wind.

By the end of the course you will be able to sail to a chosen point on the water and return to where you started in light winds.

For students with previous experience the lessons will be more advanced.

This course can be booked as an optional extra for any number of weeks during your language course.
