This experience is a hands-on introduction to sailing. It is specifically geared towards beginners so no previous experience is required. You will be encouraged to take part in many aspects of sailing the yacht, including setting sails, tacking and helming.

We may drop anchor off the coast for a light lunch or eat underway, returning to Ipswich by 17:00.
