| We work on the different people development areas by basing our programmes around traditional yachting activities. You can expect to come across some of the following areas and if there is a need, we can focus specifically on certain topics tailored to your event. |
Safety
Safety is the primary consideration on any voyage, no matter how short. We will ensure that all crew members are thoroughly briefed on safety, ship-board procedures and how the safety equipment is used.
Although the environment can be challenging, there is no reason for it to be unsafe. |

Passage Planning
Ensuring the boat is well prepared, the weather conditions are understood and everything is in order for a safe and pleasant voyage.
Navigation
Where you need to get to and how to get there - and handle all the expected (and unexpected) elements on the way. Charts, compasses and other navigational aids. |
|
|
Boat Management
Ensuring the crew are fed, watered and motivated and the equipment is working to its maximum efficiency.
Boat Handling
Handling the yacht at close quarters in busy marinas, anchoring, mooring and man overboard drills. |

Rules of the "Road"
Who gives way to whom in what circumstances. Identification of different types of vessels .
Nautical Terms
Not just what "three sheets to the wind" means, but a basic overview on different parts of the boat and what they do. Just how many different names are there for a rope?
Ropework
We can cover some of the basic knots and how the different ropes are used for different purposes - and to ensure the boat is securely tied up overnight. |
|
|
|
Racing
We have innovative methods that will introduce a competitive element to the event - whilst ensuring that the team spirit is maintained at all times.
Depending on the size of your group, we can arrange informal yacht racing to add another dimension to the learning experience |
