Spinnakers
Sailing Centre was established in 1992,
based at the mouth of the river Exe. Its
aim then and now is to provide top quality personal sailing instruction
in an informal and relaxed atmosphere
Over the years we have expanded into one of the UK's premier sailing
schools with one of the largest and most varied fleet of dinghies you
will find anywhere.
Our courses are tailored to suit individual needs and aspirations and
remain flexible at all times making sure you get the most from your time
with us.
Our aim is to provide as much personal interaction and coaching as possible.
We are not only here to talk to you on the telephone about which course
is best suited to your personal needs, but also to here to welcome you
to the Centre and get you out on the water straight away.
Our team of instructors, all RYA Qualified, are all friends that have
been with us for many years and have been chosen not only for their teaching
and sailing skills but also for their lively personalities and enthusiasm
in teaching you the sport they love. We are all here to get to
know you and provide the best sailing experience we can.
Safety
Spinnakers continue to set the highest standards in safety procedures.
Whilst on the water every body is provided with Buoyancy Aids, wetsuits
and waterproofs. Our Safety boats, manned by experienced instructors,
are at the ready, on the water at all times. We have VHF radio
Communication between dinghies, rescue boats and the shore.
All instructors are fully qualified, hold valid First
Aid Certificates and take part in in-house training during the
season. Spinnakers is a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognised
teaching Centre and hold a licence from the Adventurous Activities
Licensing Authority (AALA), to provide activities for young persons.
Updated information regarding this licence can be obtained from
the Centre.
Copies of our health and Safety policy and instructor qualifications
