Learn to sail or hone your skills in the Firth of Clyde (tidal) on Scotland's beautiful west coast. Your course will be led by an experienced RYA Yachtmaster Instructor aboard Rival 41C sail training yacht East End Endeavour. Join us the evening before the course starts to get to know the boat and your fellow crew, and look forward to 5 (or 7) days of focused fun!
Whether you're a novice or a seasoned sailor, you'll have ample opportunity to build up your experience as you explore the islands, sea lochs and coastal towns of the Firth of Clyde. Competent Crew participants will learn the ropes and become active crew members, while aspiring Day Skippers will practice navigation and sailing skills and get experience of taking charge on short passages. Coastal Skippers will learn more advanced skippering techniques, including passage planning, boat handling and pilotage by day and night.
