Whatever floats your boat!

Learn to sail with ElementalUK, an RYA training centre.

Prices from £22 per hour

Learning to sail with ElementalUK is a joy because it takes place at Swanpool, a sheltered bay that creates a gorgeous natural arena for the sport.

From day sessions to RYA courses, there’s something for everyone, and we always have power-craft on the water for back-up and rescue cover.

We have lots of sailing boats to choose from. Our double-handed Laser Bahias are brilliant for instructor-supported beginner sessions and are a great way to experience your first thrill of spinnaker sailing. We also have single-handed Laser Picos, which are perfect for your first taste of solo dinghy sailing as they are virtually indestructible and easy to right.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the age limit?

Anyone aged eight and above can enjoy our sailing lessons.

Do you take non-swimmers?

Yes! Buoyancy aids are worn at all times so it’s not essential that children are able to swim.

What should we bring?

Please bring swimming gear, a towel and suncream, plus closed-toe footwear that is suitable for use in the water (either wetsuit boots, water shoes or old trainers – no Crocs please).

Where do sailing lessons take place?

Sailing lessons take place in Swanpool Bay, where we use a series of buoys to create our own courses and give you the best possible experience.

Do I need experience to hire a dinghy?

Yes, we hire out our Laser Picos, but you will need to provide proof that you are at least a RYA Level 2 sailor. Please contact us in advance to check these details.

Where can I go if I hire a dinghy?

You can sail within Swanpool Bay, remaining in sight of the beach, which allows our team to maintain safety-boat cover.

Can I gain a sailing qualification with Elemental?

Yes click here for details of our RYA sailing courses.

WHAT DO OUR CUSTOMERS SAY?

I had a fantastic sailing lesson with Elemental UK
“I had a fantastic sailing lesson with Elemental UK. This was a reintroduction to sailing after a break of some 35 years, so I was certainly very rusty. They were very accommodating, allowing me to pick between a Laser Pico with safety boat cover or a Bahia with the instructor in the boat with me. I opted for the latter, which worked out very well. After shopping around I felt that Elemental was very competitively priced and I'd recommend them!”

Would recommend for anyone
“Thank you for the sailing experience yesterday and for the great instruction we received. We would really recommend Elemental to others. This year we did the Level 1 course. Excellent tuition and by the end of the two-day course we felt very happy on the water. Would recommend for anyone in the area.”
