LEARN TO SAIL

TASTER SESSIONS

Interested in giving sailing a try? All you have to do contact us (by clicking the logo above) and we would be happy to arrange a free taster session. The session lasts about an hour. You will hop on board one of our large training boats and taken for a leisurely sail around our 56 acre lake in the capable hands of one of our experienced instructors. You will experience the free power of the wind as the boat glides through the water and you will learn a little about the boat and sailing in general and hopefully get a chance to take control. As a precautionary measure you will need to bring a towel, change of clothes and some footwear that might get wet.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY......

"Elton sailing club has surpassed my preconceptions regarding what a sports-based club can offer a family. Our family have been made to feel incredibly welcome and have been given training alongside free coaching and never been made to feel like a group of beginners; there is a nurturing core to the club. The other juniors have embraced our children into their group where they all form an incredibly fun and friendly cohort whether sailing or socialising. Being a member has quickly turned from an occasional visit to our main hobby for all of our family to participate in."
