No Experience Needed – Not Just for Sailors
“Let’s Try Sailing”
Classic Sailing has never aimed our activity holidays exclusively at sailors.
Since 1997 we have introduced thousands of people to sailing.
Our skippers will teach you to sail, and we will teach you very well, because we can’t go anywhere without you.
You are the crew and on traditionally rigged vessels. It is all about teamwork, so don’t worry about whether you are tall enough, strong enough, or agile enough as there are important jobs for all abilities.
