There is no minimum age limit.
What will I learn?
During the 5 day course you actually get a chance to learn to ‘live’ onboard and will be introduced to the parts of the boat and the safety procedures, engine controls, leaving and coming alongside, steering the yacht under power and sailing using different points of sail, sail handling, man overboard, anchoring and rope work skills learning the most widely used knots.
