Blow away the Christmas cobwebs and pick up new seafaring skills on a learn to sail holiday. It’s the ideal way to improve your nautical know-how, or start from scratch, in a choice of settings ranging from South Devon to St. Lucia!
Taught by professional instructors, UK-based holidays range from a beginners’ Start Yachting course to the prestigious Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Yachtmaster qualification – there’s even the chance to train and compete in the annual Fastnet Race.
And, for those whose Christmas shopping didn’t quite break the bank, why not run to the sun for a two-week Caribbean island-hopping holiday? Prices start from £190 pp for a weekend’s Start Yachting course in Dartmouth (including RYA tuition, on-board accommodation and meals) while Caribbean sailing sojourns start from £985 pp – including RYA tuition, airport transfers, and all food and soft drinks on board. Flights to the Caribbean extra. Call NONSTOP Sail on 01803 833 399 (www.nonstopsail.com).
