The first principle of handover & training is to ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!
With many years of experience and as seasoned sailors ourselves we aim to make the handover experience of your new boat as pleasurable and informative as possible. We give a specific handover & training package, free of charge to all boat purchasers.
We always:
- Conduct a dedicated one-on-one handover (and sea trial when requested, at our own boatyard using our own private slipway, by tractor or boat hoist
- Go through a demonstration of practical boating procedures, as well as features and options on your specific boat
- Fully explain any client observations and comments
- Offer RYA Skipper training
- Are available for contact, advice and support
We will cover all the basics in your dedicated handover & training, at a pace that suits you, keeping advice simple and checking as we go that you are clear:
- Safety equipment and checks
- How to launch
- Correct fender and rope use
- Basic understanding of tides & winds
- Information sources (Tide, weather, etc)
