Guests will be given a Safety Briefing, and buoyancy aid which must be worn and fastened from the moment you walk on to the jetty.
About the boats
We sail Squib Keelboats – which are 19ft long and have a fixed keel, capable of giving an experienced sailor or new to the sailing crew, a lively and exciting sail. We also have a 27ft Soling, which raced in the 1972 Olympics. If you are nervous about sailing, just to say fixed keelboats are much more stable than a dinghy and highly unlikely to capsize.
Who can sail
Rutland CSSC welcomes all people who would like a taster sail:
CSSC Members
Non- CSSC Members
Children 16 years old or older - may sail unaccompanied with a competent helm and crew.
Children under 16 - need to sail with an accompanying adult who has the parent's permission to do so.
Safety
You will be given a full safety briefing and we will provide buoyancy aids –which must be worn, including on the jetty.
The helm is responsible for crew and boat safety and has the final say regarding the safety of the boat and crew.
