Learn Sailing with Experience Sailing from Gosport

Sailing Courses:
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I am Edward Crosby, the Principal of 'Experience Sailing', a fully recognised RYA Training Centre.

Courses:
We offer the following RYA courses:

• Introduction to Yachting
• Competent Crew
• Day Skipper (Theory and Practical)
• Yachtmaster Coastal, Offshore and Ocean (Theory and Practical)

Extended Courses
In the summer months we offer 7 day courses taking in the Channel Islands and the coast of France. These are a great way of combining a holiday with a course.

Experiences/Cross Channel/Mileage Builders
We are often asked what else is available other than courses. Weekend trips to France are a regular feature of our itinerary. They accumulate mileage, enable qualifying passages > 60 miles and a chance to do something different.

Over winter they are our most popular activity sailing from Gosport to Cherbourg. Leaving on a Friday evening we head for Cherbourg arriving mid Saturday morning. This leaves time for a lazy afternoon of shopping, an evening of French culinary delights in a local restaurant and a dash back starting early Sunday morning.

As you can imagine the winter can throw up a few surprises in the weather but if France is out due to rough seas we'll still make the most of it and head elsewhere. Bon Voyage.

Our Yacht:
'Talulah' is a Najad 390 sailing yacht extensively equipped for offshore sailing. She is ideally suited for cruising in comfort and comes with an inventory to match.

Najads are renowned for their offshore 'go anywhere' design so you can relax in the knowledge that whatever the weather throws you will be in a safe and comfortable environment.

What's Included:
All of our courses include tuition, yacht, food/refreshments onboard, diesel, gas, use of waterproofs, marina fees at Premier Marinas. Excluded are meals/refreshments ashore and non Premier Marinas fees.

Cooking onboard is part of the student experience but you'll only find high quality ingredients.

All of our courses are based on £95 a day with no surcharge for Bank Holidays.
