Taster Sessions

Sailing is one of the most inclusive sports around and there's no better feeling of freedom than being out on the water. This is a great way to get on the water for the first time, if you're new to the sport there's no better way to start your sailing adventure. Ullswater Sailing School offers Adult Sailing Courses tailored to you. Personal Coaching is one of the most effective ways of learning to sail, therefore, for adults we offer 1.1 or 2.1 and group tuition. This allows us to provide the most comprehensive, effective and time efficient means of teaching. The ability to tailor the course to previous sailing experience (if any!) makes personal coaching a more flexible and fun way to learn. Adult courses are usually undertaken in either a Laser Bahia or Laser Stratos. 

The family-friendly sailing tasters are open to anyone over the age of eight and no experience is necessary. It's also a chance for complete newcomers to experience the thrill of being on the water together and appreciating the wonderful scenery in a safe environment.

Ullswater Sailing School offers taster sessions on a 1.1/2.1 or as a group1.1 or 2.1 - a great way for the under 16s to see if they like sailing. We have found young sailors learn best as part of a group, however your child is may like to get a basic introduction on their own then this is for you. Group Tasters or Party fun - as with the above sessions, this is about introducing under 16s to sailing in a fun way. As a group they learn fast through fun, safe, sessions with others of similar age. Junior sailing courses for under 16s are generally taught in groups as they learn quicker and enjoy this style of learning having fun with friends. These courses follow the RYA scheme and work to their ratios for tuition and safety while keeping the courses enjoyable and stimulating.
