Sailing is the skillful art of controlling the motion of a sailing ship or sailboat, across a body of water, it's also great fun! The infectious nature of this bug means that once bitten you will likely carry it for life. This is a great full day experience that can be enjoyed by the green land lubber and experienced sea-man alike. The session starts with meeting at Christchurch Harbour and being introduced to your vessel for the day - a beautiful 32 ft clipper which is in pristine condition and has been cared for lovingly by her owner/skipper. You will then have eight hours aboard the yacht where you will get to explore the interesting coast line and waters of Dorset, The Solent and The Isle of Wight. You will stop off for lunch at a pub or restaurant during the day.

You will meet your skipper at the start of the day before going to the Yacht. The Yacht is a modern and well-equipped 32 ft clipper; she has toilet facilities, two double berths, shower, radio with CD player and a fully equipped galley. You will set off from Christchurch Harbour and have eight hours on board in which time you will see sights such as Keyhaven, The Needles, Poole Harbour and Hurst Castle; your exact course will be determined by wind direction and tides on the day. You can help with the sailing as much as you want or if you prefer you can sit back and enjoy the trip. The cruise includes tea, coffee and drinks while on board and the cost of berthing and fuel. you will stop in a harbour or anchor in a bay for lunch. Please bring a packed lunch. It may be possible to go ashore for lunch but this will depend on the wind and tide on the day.
The duration of this experience is circa eight hours.
There will be a maximum of seven people including the skipper on board.
