Evening Water Sessions: Skill & Socials

There is no better way to wind down the day than on the water. These sessions provide a dedicated, supportive space for women to progress, though we warmly welcome anyone seeking a quiet, focused environment to hone their skills.

What to Expect:

• Theory First (6:30 PM/7:00 PM): A short, land-based briefing covering techniques, safety, and the day's conditions.
• Practical Practice: Spend the majority of your time on the water. Youll have until 8:30 PM to refine your tacks or simply enjoy the freedom of the breeze.
• Social: Once the boats are tucked away, the bar stays open! Join us for a relaxed drink and a chat with your fellow sailors.

Why Join WOW?

"A unique blend of structured learning and the freedom of open water—perfect for those looking to build confidence in a calm, inclusive atmosphere."
