The Genoa Sailing Package This package takes you to Cowes the world centre of yachting. You will set off from your departure port in the morning and head towards Cowes. A rough journey time is between two and three hours. On arrival there are many places to choose to have lunch. We will happily recommend and book somewhere to suit your tastes. Booking in advance is worthwhile as Cowes can be a very busy town in season. For those people that have not been there before it is the very hub of UK Yachting and home to the famous Royal Yacht Squadron amongst countless other yacht clubs. Cowes is world famous for the regattas that start from this prestigious town. They include the first ever America's Cup, the Fastnet Race, Round the Island and of course Cowes week itself. The town with its narrow streets and quaint little shops has a personality all of its own and is a fantastic place to spend lunchtime. Below is a typical itinerary for your day: | 08:30 | Arrive at your yacht in Lymington, Portsmouth, Gosport, Southampton or Hamble. Please call to discuss your requirements.
| | 09:00 | You'll receive a formal welcome from your skipper and a full safety briefing.
| | 09:30 | Set sail into the Solent and head towards Cowes. On the way there you will learn how to put up the sails, trim them and have a go at steering.
| | 12:30 | Arrive in Cowes for lunch, your skipper will be able to show you all the points of interest that Cowes has to offer, with time for lunch and a quick look around the town.
| | 14:30 | Then it is back onto the yachts for a fun and exciting sail back to your home port. Where multiple yachts have been booked, you will be able to put into practice what you learnt in the morning by pitting your skills against the other teams in a race back to where you came from. If all of this sounds a little like too hard work you can of course sit back and just enjoy the afternoon.
| | 17:00 | Back alongside to finish the day where we hope you will have lots of good things to tell those of your colleagues that were not fortunate enough to come along this time.
