So you fancy giving sailing a go, but don't want to splash out on a sailing course?
A Taster Session with want2sail.co.uk gives you the opportunity to dip your feet in the water and see what all the fuss is about while a Race Experience gets you onto the race course with a National Champion at the helm.
"I really enjoyed the session with you last Saturday, many thanks for your time and patience. It’s given me a real taste for sailing and thought I’d now ask your advice for the best way to move forward."

So, what's the attraction?
Sailing can be healthy, fun, challenging, relaxing, thrilling and competitive... and it can be many of these at the same time too!
It can be enjoyed by all ages and caters for everyone from the sunseeker to the adrenaline junkie :)

Sailing is a game in which the mental power and physical activity of the sailor are pitted against the forces of nature. All other games are essentially rivalries between opponents in the exercise of some skill. But all of life is not combat; it is often the exercise of our ingenuity in dealing with natural forces over which we have no direct control. So sailing gratifies one of our deepest human instincts: it mimics the struggle of humanity to progress by taking advantage of the forces of the natural world.
This site aims to give you all the information you need before you request your sailing Taster Session and contains video footage and photos shot during actual want2sail taster Sessions.
Britain has been famous for its sailing exploits for centuries. In recent years we've been a dominant force in the sport of sailing too, where Team GBR continue to bring back Olympic medals. Once upon a time, all those Olympians took their first steps onto the water too!
