My wife and I are interested in learning to sail, either in a yacht or a power boat, but neither of us have any experience with being in charge of a boat. Are there any local courses or other ways we could learn to be on the water safely before we think about buying a boat ourselves?
Kind regards
David and Millie
The feedback we have received is that although its obviously busier in the Summer months, there's still plenty to do in the winter.
A pretty good choice to moor your boat.
Happy Sailing!

Food ok also.
We later used your eating out section for our meals and drinks etc. Think you have got the right blend of nautical and general information. Will definitely be using your pages in future.
Well done.
