Learning to Sail on the Solent - A visit to Newtown Creek on the Isle of Wight

First Class Sailing has a fleet of yachts that sail all year round. Running Royal Yachting Association practical courses on the Solent. Depending on weather, time, tide, and the course syllabus, we try to visit Newtown Creek, on the Isle of Wight. At the mouth of the Newtown River is the beautiful Newtown Creek. A large natural harbour and nature reserve. This secluded and peaceful anchorage is always a treat for our students. Bustling with wildlife there are opportunities to see birds, waders and waterfowl. If you step ashore you might even spot one of the elusive red squirrels. In this video you can see two of our fleet. Sazarac is a Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 and Fusion III is a Beneteau Oceanis 41.1. Both are extremely comfortable yachts and ideal sail-training vessels. Whether you are a newbie to sailing or are seeking advanced skills and qualifications, we have the course for you. From Competent Crew and Day Skipper to Yachtmaster we have expert instructors to ensure you learn at your pace whilst reaching the skills required of the course.
