Sailing Courses for Adults at The Tides Inn
So many people dream about learning
to sail, or owning a boat some day. And many eventually do. We understand
this and we understand that, when you book a course with us, it
is our responsibility to make your dream become a reality.
We teach you to be in control of a boat, and that is what it is
all about. We help you to overcome your anxieties. Or, for those
of you with no worries who want to do it all as fast and as full
as you can, we will move at your pace and push you as hard as you
want to go.
We never bombard you with strange terminology or try to impress
you. We do our best to make learning to sail a pleasant, positive,
if sometimes challenging experience.
Our basic sailing course takes 4 full days and can be done over
2 weekends if desired. We start at 9.30 and finish at 4.30 and lunch
is taken at anchor somewhere. Although highly structured, the courses
are intensively practical and are aimed at getting you out on the
water and independent as quickly as possible.
Our group sizes never exceed 4 students which ensures that you get
lots of personal attention and lots of hands on sailing experience.
2012 Schedule for Adults
Our courses run from mid April
to late October -schedule is constantly changing as courses fill so
please call the office and ask about dates.

"Hey Arabella, I was in your last class.
I just wanted to let you know we went on our first weekend cruise
together . We anchored, we had a blast. Thanks for all
you taught me." - Karen
