We have had a number of adults who have learnt to sail with us in recent times - some going on to compete successfully at a high level. Whatever your interest, we look to tailor individual lessons to suit the sailor and these are taught by our club Secretary, Rob Ebert on a one on one basis. He teaches adults in a large version of the Optimist dinghy - an Optimax and he can normally get an adult sailing independently in 2-4, 1 hour lessons.
