The Free Sailing Clinic series is designed for people new to sailing who would like to develop an understanding of how to sail the club dinghies. The same skills can be applied in bigger yachts.

Register for this activity on-line. Meet at the clubhouse. Each clinic will last for 1 hour, from 6 – 7 pm. Wherever possible the clinics will use practical learning experiences and a hands-on approach. See topics below:
