Want to be an Olympic Sailor?

In around 200 days the world’s elite sailors will take to the waters of Weymouth and Portland in the hope of taking home a gold medal.

Now if you fancy becoming an elite sailor it is going to take several years of maximum effort and dedication, and whilst hugely rewarding that may not be the path for you. BUT have no fear!… it is simple with Solent Events to get out on the water just for a day or two where you can experience what it may like to be part of this prestigious sailing event  for yourself!

Based from the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy Solent Events have various options are available on a fleet of F40 yachts; an ideal day for networking, incentives, reward, teambuilding or simply hospitality.

We have 2 resident international sailors who will be on hand to offer encouragement and tips on getting the best from your boats performance and to talk about their own past sailing experiences.

After a morning of familiarisation onboard the yachts a series of races will be organised for the afternoon, after a lovely lunch of course!
