The Mile Building Weekend is the perfect introduction to newly qualified sailors who want to gain more experience and take in some longer passages.
Running over two days the Mile Building Weekend will give you longer more involved passages and a more intense sailing experience than just hopping from marina to marina.
A great way to build some extra experience before undertaking that next course.
You’ll get to visit marinas and ports a little further afield than the Solent, like Portland or Weymouth. It’ll involve more intense and longer days sailing.
Along with some cracking sailing, you’ll get to visit places you didn’t visit on your RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper course. The passages are longer and it’ll involve more quality sea-time, but it’s such a rewarding weekends sailing.
Courses run in a choice of two formats:
Starts from our Gosport marina base and visits various ports and marinas further afield.
What better a way to celebrate that new RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper qualification than with a Mile Building weekend aboard one of our fleet yachts!
A great way to build extra mileage and enjoy some longer passages to locations further afield than the Solent, guided by one of our experienced and professional RYA qualified instructors.
You’ll get to see first hand why the south coast is the perfect place to build some miles and gain more experience.
With so many locations to chose from (weather dependant of course) you might go and see Portland or Weymouth, or how about metropolitan Brighton Marina for a great night out when you arrive?
