Own Boat Tuition

Why should you consider ‘own boat tuition’?

At Change of Tack, we realise that signing up for a conventional course with a sailing school may not be to everyone’s liking. For some, the idea of sharing the confines of a training boat with strangers looking to take their ‘Competent Crew’, ‘Day Skipper’ or even ‘Yachtmaster Prep’, is simply an arrangement that doesn’t float their boat. The course may not be the level they are looking for, the time commitment too much or the boat nothing like they have and will be using themselves.

We are always delighted to be able to deliver own boat tuition to a client. There’s a real buzz of excitement when the owner of a yacht gets to improve their own skill set and better understands the capabilities of their boat.

So whether you are new to sailing; the proud owner of a daysailer looking to take the next steps to a bigger boat & explore new cruising grounds; or an established skipper who has forgotten more than most people will know – but just needing a little assistance to remember, we can put together a training programme that is designed for you.

If it floats and sails, probably. It is more to do with what is carried onboard. We are often asked as to what type of kit a client should have on their boat before we will arrange own boat tuition. We put the safety of our clients at the forefront of all we do and recommend that there is a minimum level of equipment that will ensure that the best can be achieved from training.

The following is a basic list – we are here to answer any specific questions and offer the appropriate advice if you wish to know more.
