Own Boat Tuition
Course Outline
We are pleased to offer courses and training on your own boat. We envisage that this training would be carried out from our base in Cowes, but are happy to discuss coming to you, and also reviewing and aiding in skills development across the whole range in which we teach.
We are very happy to teach groups including families in skills that they are unfamiliar with, perhaps giving the normal skipper confidence that he or she has backup on board.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss specific aspects of skills which you would like to improve. Click on the next tab to see some of the areas that we can cover.
