About this course
The Ladies Learn to Sail Course is a weekend long course aimed to provide ladies with an introductory knowledge of sailing and crewing on a cruising yacht.
We set sail aboard a luxury yacht in a small group of 6 sailors plus our friendly, experienced instructor Laura.
Over the weekend, we will spend time sailing in the harbour, learning about how to propel the vessel with the wind, navigation and safety onboard. Every participant will have the opportunity to helm the vessel while under sail.
Each day we will stop for lunch in a beautiful bay, where we will learn about how to anchor and tie knots while enjoying the scenery. We also try to enjoy some down time where the sailors can relax aboard, or head into the water for a swim.
It’s a fun hands-on course to enjoy being on the water while learning sailing skills with likeminded ladies.

Last week I completed the IYT International Bareboat Skipper course with Yacht Training out of Westhaven Marina. My instructor, Pete, was really fantastic. I highly compliment his professionalism, maturity, experience and instructional style, and commend him to you. It was an extremely positive and beneficial experience.

Loved learning with yacht training specifically Coach Pete Linford. He was a great teacher snd taught me some amazing skills ultimately leading me to get a job on a 40m sail yacht! Couldn’t have done it without him.Posted on Google Simon LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed Bareboat skipper course with Pete who was awesome. My wife & I stayed on board 40 ft for the course duration in Westhaven. She was a non- sailer so the experience was a great intro for her. Pete’s quiet encouraging manor gave her the confidence to fully engage and learn as well as I did. Thanks Pete for the training and added knowledge to take our sailing to the next level and we fully intend to buy and retire to a live aboard 45ft yacht soon.Posted on Google Andrew BurnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
