Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Sail a Hunter 34

The clinic runs aboard a Hunter 34, giving participants direct, hands‑on experience on a modern cruising keelboat.

THE INSTRUCTION

Qualified ASA Instructor

A qualified ASA instructor guides on‑deck drills and coaching designed to translate classroom knowledge into practical seamanship.

THE FORMAT

Small, Social Crew

These are group clinics rather than private charters; you’ll sail with fellow students, capacity limited to five crew per boat to keep the lineup active and instructional feedback frequent.

What the day feels like

What the Clinic Feels Like

Over a concentrated three‑hour window you trade passive observation for active work: embark with the small crew, run sail handling drills, take turns steering and trimming, and receive direct instructor feedback — all in a group setting aimed at accumulating practical boat time.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who gets the most from this clinic — and who should think twice.

1
Aspiring ASA CandidatesIdeal for sailors seeking additional practical sail time to support ASA qualification goals.
2
Sailed‑Before CrewA good match for sailors with prior experience who want hands‑on coaching rather than a sightseeing cruise.
3
Families & Mixed AgesOpen to all ages, the small‑crew format can work for mixed‑age groups so long as each participant can take part in on‑deck activity.
4
Large GroupsNot ideal for large parties — the clinic is limited to five students per boat, so groups larger than that will need multiple bookings or alternative arrangements.
