About the Yachts
Pilotage exercise Compass Peter and Lorie

We have two yachts available for sail training.  A Gibsea 352 and a Beneteau First 41s5 which features a Philippe Starck designed interior.  They are both very spacious and comfortable yachts, ideal for tuition or for a relaxing charter holiday in the Algarve. They are extremely well maintained and are equipped to comply with the very stringent safety standards of the Department of Transport.

Both yachts have three double cabins, a very spacious saloon and heads (toilet) complete with a freshwater shower (two heads on the Beneteau). The galley areas are well equipped with oven and hob and a large fridge rather than a coolbox, perfect for keeping drinks cool in the heat of the Summer.

The yachts are a delight to sail for beginners and experts alike. Both come equipped with a slab reefing mainsail.  They also come equipped with a VHF DSC radio, GPS, Navtex or Weatherfax and a CD player.
