Solent Boat Handling Course

Boat Handling Course

We are running a Solent Boat Handling Course on Monday 29th March to prepare skippers for their first sailing trip if the season over the Easter holiday. Before we moved to Commodore Corner at Gosport Marina our RYA Sailing School and Yacht Charter was based opposite the fuel pontoon on the edge of Portsmouth Harbour. Each weekend we would watch yachts coming in to refuel and were tempted to score skippers out of ten for their boat handling skills when approaching and leaving the pontoon. The most common scenario was husband on the helm shouting instructions to their wife on the foredeck often culminating in an instruction to take a leap of faith from the still moving yacht  three feet onto the pontoon with the bow line. All this could be avoided with a little help from a professional skipper with  tips for getting in and out of tight berths or in difficult conditions. The cost of the boat handling day is £99.00 including lunch and refreshments.
