At Sailing Holidays we have people with a total mixture of experience levels on the holidays, from those who have sailed around the world to those just starting out.  Most start off having had some dinghy sailing, windsurfing, canoeing or other on water experience. 

A flotilla is a group of 10-12 yachts guided by one of our fully equipped lead yachts. The flotilla usually consists of around 30-50 people depending on the size of boats and time of year. When you arrive you are given an initial briefing on the boat.  

In the morning you will receive a comprehensive briefing that will cover all the working parts of the boat.  This will cover elements from pulling the sails in and out (on our easy furling systems) to how to operate the all-important engine (which fortuitously keeps the beer in the fridge cold!). They will also explain about the anchor windlass.

From then on the lead crew will provide a daily briefing on the place you are heading to that day and the anticipated weather. 

You then have the day to yourselves, to enjoy some sailing, a lazy lunch, and a swim before you head in to explore the new village harbour.
