No experience needed, just a lust for adventure!
As our company responds to COVID-19 the health and safety of our community and customers remains our top priority. We are committed to being there when our customers and community need us most. We are responding by working with households bubbles. We teach dinghy sailing skills using Lynher as an outdoor classroom and mothership alongside our pontoon at Southdown marina. We now offer day sails on Lynher for one extended family household.
