We had a brilliant few days sailing with Roland this week. He is an excellent instructor, calm and patient at all times, I don’t think there was a moment during the course that he wasn’t teaching us something! We appreciate we are ‘slow learners’ but both his and the approach of other instructors is gradually giving us the confidence we are lacking. Please pass on our thanks

RYA Sailing Courses on the Solent (Hamble)

Why train with Pure Latitude ?

Pure Latitude is not just a sailing school. We deliver high quality RYA sailing courses on our immaculate fleet of club boats – with a focus on bespoke support and development.

Our RYA sailing courses are tailored to your needs. Low instructor – student ratios ensure a high quality learning experience focused on your specific strengths and weaknesses. Every hour spent onboard is more productive when learning in this way. Feel free to bring family and friends at no extra cost.

Our base in Hamble is at the heart of the UK’s boating scene and offers immediate access to the Solent. Situated between Southampton and Portsmouth, getting here is a breeze by road or rail. The Solent, with a wonderful selection of harbours and pretty bays, is beautiful and varied but also demanding, with challenging winds, complex tides and busy waterways. RYA Day Skipper Courses completed in the Solent are held in high regard worldwide – it’s often said if you can sail in the Solent you can sail anywhere.

It’s not just a sailing course, it’s a journey

WHY TRAIN AS PART OF A BOAT CLUB ?

Learning about sailing never ends. The same could be said for any discipline, but when it comes to boating, experience is everything.

Skippering boats is a continuous journey, not just a destination. The formal RYA syllabus ensures you have the range of knowledge needed at each level, but it’s having a way to practice, test and develop your skills during a regular day on the water that turns knowledge into expertise.

We provide the environment for members to spend whatever time they need skippering, be that on their own, on a 1:1 basis with an instructor or in a small group setting joining one of our popular events. In all cases, they focus on the specific things that matter to them.

We developed our boat share club to make bespoke learning accessible, hassle-free and affordable, and across a unique mix of sail and power boats.

The on-hand support and mentoring, not just for me but the whole family, has made the biggest difference to our enjoyment of sailing.
