A fantastic way to build confidence and try a new sport. Students will have their own dinghy boat to learn rigging, launching and the basics of handling a sail boat on the River Itchen.

At SWAC we understand the need to support new sailors. We can provide a sailing experience with an instructor on board for more nervous or less mobile students.  This is a perfect way to overcome fears of the unknown and push comfort zones!

An ideal boat for students requiring a more stable platform or would like an introduction on a larger sailing boat.  Keel boat sessions provide an excellent environment to improve communication and cooperation between crew members.

Take a gentle cruise down the River Itchen and across Southampton Water. We know a range of creeks and harbours ideal for any occassion.

For the more experienced and competitive students, match racing against each other in a series of boat on boat races in our 23ft Sonar keel boats will test their skills further! With up to 4 people per team under the expert instruction of one of our skippers, they will get a briefing and a short practice sail to assign roles before the countdown begins.

A great team building exercise! Work together to build the most fantastic floating contraption each team can come up with and take on the opponents in a number of head to head challenges and races.

A great session involving students with an Instructor on board. Learning how to launch and handle a 4.0m powerboat at slow speeds.
