Your experience begins with coffee and a safety briefing - then your RYA Yachtsmaster skipper will introduce you to the basics of sailing. After that, it's hands-on sailing for the rest of the morning with everyone taking turns behind the wheel, steering the boat out into the Stour and Orwell Rivers, and Harwich Harbour. You will be able to carry on improving your sailing skills, or just sit back and relax in the well-protected cockpit. All refreshments afloat are included. The experience lasts from 10:00am to approximately 1:00pm.
