Yacht Sailing Courses

Short Sailing Courses

The Education Centre at Lusty Glaze Beach in Cornwall has worked with international sailing company Clipper Ventures, organiser of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, to develop a number of yacht sailing courses offered by Clipper Training.

The courses cover all aspects of yacht sailing. Although developed for recruits on the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, the courses are open to all-comers with a keen interest in learning to sail big boats.
