SUMMARY:Sail training – Skipper it like a pro
DESCRIPTION:The ultimate bite sized training block! Whether you are a newly qualified day skipper or are looking to consolidate previous experience\, this intensive 2 day event is a great way to develop 3 key skill areas. \nStarting with a sail trim and reefing session\, you’ll get lots of hands on experience and benefit from the top tips and best practices from a PL instructor. As day turns to night\, you’ll work through a serious of navigational exercises before overnighting in a Solent marina away from Port Hamble (choice dependent on weather). Day 2 will focus on marina boat handling both in the morning and on return to Port Hamble\, with more sail trim and navigational work covered on the return leg to Port Hamble. \nJoin with other members and benefit from a 2:1 student-instructor ratio for a high quality training experience! \nMarina fees away from the home berth and food onboard are not included.

SUMMARY:Mile builder - Channel Islands
DESCRIPTION:This weekend mile builder is perfect for anyone wanting to gain coastal and night sailing experience\, but also for those wanting to visit some destinations a bit further afield. \nDepending on the weather forecast\, we expect to set off from Hamble on Friday evening and after leaving the Solent\, head across the channel for Alderney. In the event that conditions are unsuitable for a channel crossing we’d endeavour to make a passage of similar mileage along the south coast.\nFor those with suitable experience\, this is also an ideal opportunity to skipper a leg and tick off a qualifying passage for the Yachtmaster qualification. \nPrice: \nSaloon berth: 38 points or £490\nPrivate cabin (single occupancy): 56 points or £730\nPrivate cabin (twin occupancy): 76 points or £990

SUMMARY:Yachtmaster skills - Boat handling under sail
DESCRIPTION:The ability to sail well in close quarters is an often-neglected skill for modern sailors. Could you keep calm and carry on without the engine in the event of gear failure? Or perhaps examiner intervention!\nBenefiting from a low student ratio this clinic style day will build your confidence\, understanding and ability to sail through manoeuvres you’d normally start the donk’ for. \nUnder the guidance of an experienced RYA instructor\, you’ll look at short tacking\, sailing onto pontoons\, picking up moorings and fenders under sail as well as delving into how to adjust your strategy for differing conditions.

SUMMARY:Sail training - Sail trim masterclass
DESCRIPTION:This masterclass is designed to help you get to grips with advanced sail trim\, using the control lines to vary sail shape for different conditions and points of sail\, not to mention making the boat go faster. You will practice a range of upwind and downwind trim skills\, to include halyard tension\, car positions and sheet angles to set draft and twist. \nA professional instructor will explain the primary and secondary effects of all controls and simplify the sometimes complex black art of sail trim to provide a faster and better-balanced boat.

SUMMARY:Sail training - Strong wind techniques
DESCRIPTION:This event is ideal for sailors wanting to develop their strong wind sailing techniques. You’ll be guided by a professional instructor who will help you develop your confidence and offer expert advice across the following: \n·       Weather forecast and passage plan/decision making. \n·       Boat and crew preparation for heavy weather before you depart. \n·       Heavy weather tips on all points of sail. \n·       Sail plans and reefing (upwind and downwind). \n·       Understanding the sea state / choosing your tack. \n·       Manoeuvring in heavy seas. \n·       Longer passage considerations. \nThe Pure Latitude team has an impressive range of skills to offer\, but controlling the weather unfortunately isn’t one of them! Strong winds are not guaranteed but what we can promise is a robust\, in-depth day of training that will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to take your skippering to the next level\, whatever the weather.
