| What Sailing Breaks offer |
"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand. As in what direction we are moving; to reach the port of heaven we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor" © Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) Weekend SailingBreaks Based in Largs Yacht Haven, Ayrshire, SailingBreaks offer a fully inclusive skippered sailing holiday on the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. You reserve a berth on one of the SailingBreaks listed in our programme from £185 inclusive of all food and drink. Many of the SailingBreaks are weekend events, ideal for those who want to try sailing for the first time before committing to a full week at sea. More experienced sailors, unfamiliar with the Firth of Clyde, take a SailingBreak holiday to familiarise themselves with the cruising ground for the first time. Some of the SailingBreaks in our programme offer long weekends based around public holidays. All of these SailingBreaks are timed to link up with local festivals making your SailingBreak something more than just a sailing holiday. RYA® Training Courses In association with New Horizon Sailing School, take one of the RYA® practical sail training courses. From 'Start Yachting®' through to Yachtmaster®'. Complete these courses over 2 x 3 day weekends or 5 days and use your holiday to gain these internationally recognized qualification, as a gateway to yacht chartering in the future. Bespoke SailingBreaks Gaps in our programme are left available for crews who want to book a bespoke SailingBreaks cruise. This requires you to book the whole boat for the period of your choice. The price for the 2008 season is £330 per day, that's around £80 pp per day for a crew of 4, and under £70 if there are 5 of you, for the whole boat, inclusive of all food and drink. Please call Andy on 07836 762248 or email info@sailing-breaks.co.uk for details. In previous seasons we have taken charters to St Andrews for the Open Golf! Mile Building Many of our Sailing holidays present an deal opportunity to build up miles in your log book. These miles will qualify for RYA® examinations. Food & Drink Your SailingBreak holiday includes all food and drink. Typically, a healthy breakfast, soup and sandwiches for lunch, ending the day with a wholesome supper. 'Brandy', your home for your SailingBreak, is also renowned amongst regular crew for a well stocked 'snack locker' and fruit basket for when the sea air has encouraged an appetite that can't wait for the next scheduled meal! Chilled beer and wine enable the crew to toast Neptune for our good fortune at the end of our sailing day. Sleeping Arrangements Never a problem after a day at sea and one of the Skipper's famous hot chocolate night caps, Brandy has 2 berths in the forward cabin, 2 in the aft cabin, 1 in the pilot cabin, and 2 in the saloon. Sleeping bags are provided if required. Timing Officially from 8pm Friday to 4pm Sunday for 2 day weekend SailingBreaks and 8pm Thursday to 4pm Sunday for 3 day weekend breaks. However we want you to make the most of your weekend and encourage you to arrive earlier. If all crew members do the same we can cast off earlier and get more sailing in! No matter what type of SailingBreak you choose you can be assured of the very best of Scottish hospitality. |
