Come for a half day or full day and enjoy sailing in the company of our qualified instructors/volunteers. Sailing sessions are suitable for those who have never sailed before, or those with experience. Take the helm and have a go at steering and controlling the sails, or just sit back and watch the scenery while our volunteer instructors sail the boat for you. Our sailing takes place from our pontoon at Barton Broad where there is a small galley kitchen, toilet and classroom. Anybody accompanying you is welcome to sail with your or sit and watch if they prefer!
We offer accessible sailing from April to October. All sailing sessions are accompanied by a safety boat.
For general sailing, we have six standard 20ft Yeoman keelboats, a Yeoman which has been adapted to wheel steering, with a forward facing helm seat, an RS Venture Keel with forward facing bucket seats and joystick steering. These adapted boats enable visitors with a restricted ability to enjoy supported sailing. We also have Hansa 303 dinghies.
For an introduction to sailing, our two stable and roomy 20ft Falmouth Bass Boats take up to 8 people, and in addition to the sail have a quiet and pollution-free electric motor. We can provide supported seating and bean bags for those who require more stability.
