For the Keelboat Course                                               Hours are 9.30 to 4pm each day. We meet first at the classroom at The Tides Lodge each morning. You should wear comfortable clothes and non-slip shoes, preferably not with black soles. Bring a hat for the sun, sun block. And also your lunch and plenty to drink, especially water. Sailing gloves are a good idea to protect your hands from rope chafe - we keep them in stock here in various sizes. If you would like to have a pair please phone and reserve them to make sure we keep the right size for you. In the Spring and the Autumn you might need warmer clothes - definitely a good jacket, warm hat, some layers. In the summer months you should bring your swimming things and a towel because you might fancy a swim at lunchtime or at the end of the day.

For Skippered Charter                                                      When you arrive at the classroom we will ask you to fill out our registration form and pay any remaining balance due, then we will go straight out to the boat. The best thing to wear is comfortable clothes and non-slip shoes (please avoid black soles!) and a hat for the sun, and sun block. You might like to bring a bottle of water with you too.
