Upcoming Open Days
- Saturday, 10th March
- Saturday, 14th April
If you're interested in becoming a FlexiSail member, then we'd like to welcome you along to one of our Open Days.
We have developed and filmed a wide range of short, informative and useful sail training videos and these are available to you free with no strings attached. They are a genuine gift from us to you.
Perfect if you are a little rusty or just starting out or perhaps you want to know more or want to know a better way to do something. Packed full of useful tips and information they will be useful to you for many years to come.
One example is ‘how to tie up your boat’. We see badly tied off boats every day and it is not always the work of a novice. Boat damage can and often does occur as a result of poorly tied off boats and yet is so easily avoided!
Do free free to pass these sail training videos onto your crew and friends before they come sailing with you. Wouldn’t it be great if they had that clove hitch or bowline nailed beforehand?
This series of sail training videos are an added benefit to our FlexiSail Members for them to learn from, and to use as a refresher when returning to sailing. Our videos are also designed to help crew better understand what is happening on a boat. It is an opportunity for them to learn some of the basics which in turn will enable them to feel more confident, contribute and join in the fun.While these videos are not intended to be all encompassing, they are a great motivator and reference for your library. On the right you can see the content of these 14 ‘hot off the press’ sail training videos and they are there for you to benefit from absolutely FREE.
The answer is very simple. We do not operate like any other sailing school. FlexiSail is a unique company that brings together the 3 most important aspects of sailing, which are boat access, training and social. Teaching our members and those on our Training Packages is something that we do every day, day in, day out and we are very happy to also help you, by giving you access to this valuable video collection. At the same time you will gain a flavour of our style and approach to teaching; see for yourself the added value that we give our members and the great way that we support our members’ sailing. We passionately believe that we have simply the best way for people to sail be they just starting, return to sailing, or already an experienced skipper, providing a supported environment on great boats in a wonderful social environment that is simply staggering value for money.
Meanwhile we know that you will find the information and demonstrations in these videos together with the accompanying synopsis and tips really useful, so sit back and enjoy.
