Dinghy Tuition

Dinghy Tuition

Sailing dinghy on Loch Insh, Highlands The holiday atmosphere at most Scottish sailing schools is part of the appeal, and everyone is guaranteed an interesting, enjoyable and useful time, for whether the school is located on a coastal or inland loch, or an island, you can be sure of entertainment and instruction in good measure. For the beginner, there is the satisfaction of ones first solo dinghy sail, or a successful sailboard dash in the pleasant surroundings of a Scottish loch. More advanced pupils could be enjoying their first steps in dinghy racing, powerboat driving or water skiing.

Whatever the day's activities, the evening barbecue and the company of others on the course will round off your day to perfection, and at the end of the week you may have a new range of skills, have gained a certificate, but you will certainly have a lot of new friends!

You may even become one of the folk who come back to Scotland again and again. Even if you don't come for the fishing - you risk being hooked!
