Learn to sail aboard this proven Ocean Race Yacht

Clipper 60, Taeping, has an impressive history, successfully completing four circumnavigations around the world. This day introduces participants to the principles of sailing in a relaxed, informal environment. A real “hands on” day out - everyone has the chance to actively crew the yacht, taking a turn at aspects from steering to working on the foredeck. Throughout the day the professional skipper and mate will be on hand to teach crew members the basics of sailing and talk them through all the manoeuvres.

You are welcome to sit back and enjoy the ride, however you will be encouraged to take part in the sailing which will involve taking the helm, hoisting and trimming sails.

Customer Reviews

Ellie Stuart, Woolston

Many thanks for putting together the introduction to sailing experience. My father had an excellent day taking part in sailing the Clipper, and was well looked after by the instructors.

Christopher Palmer, Portswood

I enjoyed learning about sailing on your experience, it was a surprise gift and I had no problem in booking my prefered day. Got on the boat and was given a cup of tea before being offered the opportunity to get involved. In the end I sat back and watched other participants steer the ship and things, but had just as good a time as they did.
