Sailing Weekends

Thoroughly enjoyable

Booked a weekend mile builder recently with First Class Sailing. The experience was excellent from the initial booking, clear joining instructions and the preparedness of the boat and skipper. We sailed hard on our weekend and got every minute of experience we could. First Class even arranged for us to have plenty of wind! Very professional business which is imperative when offering sailing to mixed ability groups. I will definitely be sailing with them again. Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you. Arrived home shattered, wind beaten and smiling!
