RYA Practical Sailing Courses...

Jonathan Brier Yachting is recognised by the RYA to run the full range of sailing courses which are designed for people with mixed experience and are usually run over 5 days although long weekends are a possibility. They include formal tuition and, we hope, a good degree of fun.

These courses can give you the opportunity to progress from absolute beginner to learning the advanced techniques of sailing, navigation and of course, safety. A typical week, weather conditions permitting, may involve nights in Cowes, Yarmouth, Portsmouth, Hamble and if conditions allow Poole.

Our yacht Crews Control offers comfort, fun, excitement and safety. The maximum number on board will be 5, however should you feel in need of more attention, or wish to sail with a smaller group, this can be arranged.

Our carefully selected Instructors are all qualified to RYA Cruising Instructor as a minimum. They will ensure that you are given every opportunity to achieve your goal.
