After an initial briefing you'll experience your first sail at low speed and your expert instructor will show you how to stop your land yacht. Then you progress to a figure of eight course learning safe, controlled turns.
Once you get the hang of things, you'll have the opportunity to learn more difficult manoeuvres like a "gybe turn". Later in the session land yachts may be sailed on a larger circuit as you experience performance sailing and racing. This is a fun and exciting activity - a must for all speed demons!
