Day 1

On arrival at Polkerris, you'll be kitted up, and given an introduction to the boats. The first part of the day will be on land, getting to know the boat and learning about steering and turning. Then you'll be on the water to practice your skills with an instructor! There'll be a lunch break (bring your own or buy from the cafe) and some theory on land. The rest of the day will be spent on the water, gaining as much experience as possible.

Day 2

You'll be kitted up, and after a brief recap, will head back on the water. You'll recap your steering and turning skills, learn a bit more about the boat and how to sail it efficiently, including sailing upwind as well as other relevant skills. There'll be some more theory to cover, and as much time on the water sailing as possible.
