Learn to sail

Hello Sailor! I have sailed twice now with "Try Sailing" The first time was a two-day course as a complete beginner and the second was a one-day refresher. Apart from learning a great deal from a very experienced and proficient instructor the days were also filled with fun and much pleasure. Try it, you will learn so much from the experience - I certainly did. Ready about.......

I had a great experience with the RYA Level 2 course. Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, professional and friendly instructor plus great shipmates. No question un-answered, loads of additional information and hands-on experience. If sailing is something you just want to try or if you want to learn on a serious level I highly recommend 'Try Sailing'.

Thanks David for the one day sailing introduction course. Both Elizabeth and I had a great day. We both got allot out of the day..... enough to go and buy our own boat and take up this wonderful hobby for ourselves. Barton broad is a great place to sail. The setting is beautiful and the sailing excellent. Thanks again for a great day,
David and Elizabeth Haynes.


"When I moved to Norfolk I wasn't sure I wanted to sail, but I wanted to try it out and see whether it was fun. "Try Sailing" was an excellent enjoyable and stress-free way to start out, learning the theory alongside the practical skills of handling a boat. "Try Sailing" got me through my first two RYA courses and put me well en route for the Day Skipper theory course. I'm now quite sure that sailing is something I want to do, and have so far managed to sail off the French coast and in the Gulf !

Having been looking enviously at sailors on the Broads for many years, I was determined to give it a go once we'd moved to Norfolk. I chose try sailing because of its personal approach to tuition and found Dave to be endlessly patient. I spent three days with him on the yacht and walked away with my certificate having never sailed before. I have recently bought a 22ft yacht and will be back for an RYA level 2 just as soon as I can spare the time. If you've never tried sailing and fancy a go, get your sea legs with "Try Sailing".

Just to let you know that we came back on Sunday from our flotilla sailing holiday and all went very well. So much so that we will be definitely going again. Your instruction was fundamental to us enjoying the trip and feeling confident about our sailing. With regards to this we would like to do a bit more practising and wonder if you know of any day/weekend yacht hirers you can recommend.
Best wishes. David Chandler


Just to say "Thanks" for a really enjoyable 2.5 days on Barton Broad. I am looking forward to getting in some practice now. I dream of tacking and gybing every night but it's not the same as the real thing! My son was right - you're a brilliant teacher!

Just wanted to let you know how enthused we all are by our experience today. We all feel that we have learned so much in an incredibly short time and one way or another we'll be back for more! If you'll have us that is.
Thanks and regards,

Bob, Liz and Matt
