Learn to Sail with
the MPS Sailing Club |
Ever thought of learning to Sail? but never known where
to go ? or just assumed it is too expensive ? The answer is the Met
Sailing Club, with its three (3) yachts and other facilities down on the
Hamble in Hampshire. Below is a Hallberg Rassey of which we have 2 !
The Met Sailing Club is recognised by
the Royal Yachting Association to teach both the practical and shorebased
courses. We provide quality instruction on our three offshore yachts
catering for the complete beginner to Yachtmaster.
The Club is holding its annual 'Introduction to Sailing
Days' and due to the overwhelming demand in previous years two (2)
additional days have been added.
The first of these are on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th May and then again
on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th August 2005. They are an ideal
opportunity to see what the Club is about and to see whether or not
sailing is for you.
For the cost of £35 (which includes a light lunch) you get a full days
sailing, on the Solent, under the watchful eye of a fully qualified Club
Skipper and First Mate.
