Sailing Taster

Course Overview

Our sailing taster is perfect for someone who’s never been sailing before or hasn’t sailed in a long time. You will be with one of our experienced instructors in one of our large RS Ventures and, weather permitting, should be able to go on an adventure around Chichester harbour, picking up knowledge and experience as you go. The session will begin with the instructor at the helm and will progress you onto helming the boat for short periods of time.
