Why Learn to Sail in the Solent?
My first experience of sailing a yacht was on the Solent. There was no real thought process and the principal reason for choosing the Solent as the destination for my introduction to RYA sailing courses was that it was within an easy commute of where I was living and working at the time in Berkshire.
Looking back I can see that there are a number of additional advantages of choosing the Solent as an area to learn to sail.
