Build up your sea miles
Yachtmaster courses require that candidates have gained experience on the water prior to taking the course and it can take many years to build that experience unless structured milebuilding is built into the equation. Milebuilding is the process of building experience, sailing skills and confidence over a period of time. At Solaris Sailing, we help novice sailors to successfully tackle the Yachtmaster exam by building their all-round skills on a number of mile building days, weekends & delivery trips throughout the year. Of course, you don’t need to be aiming for Yachtmaster to attend these sessions, they are for everyone who wants to enjoy some time on the water. If you want to gain experience, learn what it’s like to live on a yacht, see new places, experience tidal and non-tidal blue water sailing and put some extra miles under your belt – we’re here to help! Please contact us with the dates you would like to do milebuilding and we will try to arrange this for you.
