Family Watersports Day - Sailing, Windsurfing and Kayaking
Enjoy life on the ocean wave with an introduction to three fun-packed watersports activities in this family experience. First up it's dinghy sailing and the chance to helm your own boat. With expert instruction you will be off in a matter of minutes and whether you plan to glide across the water or crash through ocean swells, you'll have great fun in these little boats. If you managed not to capsize in those, then move on to getting wet! After a quick lesson on the dry land simulator, go out on the windsurfers, combining style with speed as you race across the water (or combining chaos with flailing limbs as you fall in ungracefully!). After lunch move onto the kayaks. These are great fun, anyone can do it... and if it's that easy to get going, then it's the perfect vehicle to challenge your family to a race!

Enjoy an adrenaline-packed day on the water in a top class J/109 proven performance racing yacht. These boating beauties ooze a very sleek profile but they are both stable and easy to sail. For the technical among you, they feature retractable bowsprit and asymmetric spinnaker systems and two-cabin interiors with standing headroom down below. They are designed with the horse power for competitive racing and stability for relaxed cruising - everything you want in a boat in fact! First you'll have tea, coffee and pastries, before getting kitted out in your yachting gear. Then it's time to head out onto the water with your skipper, who'll demonstrate the racing tactics and techniques you'll need. After a light lunch on board you'll put all your new found skills into practise with a series of short races. You'll be up against other boats, racing round buoys at sea - a fun and exciting challenge. At the end of the day the winning team will enjoy a race presentation.
Get your competitive spirit going with close yacht racing - combining the freedom of the open water with the thrill of racing and the satisfaction of hands-on involvement. You'll be on board a modern Sigma 8 metre keelboat, a performance boat. First you'll meet your instructor and the crew, before heading to the yachts for a safety briefing. Training includes hoisting sails, helming, practising the most efficient methods of manoeuvring the yacht and learning how to keelhaul landlubbers (or maybe not). Then you'll be briefed on the rules of the race, which takes place on a floating 'race track'. And it's all hands on deck - you'll participate fully in crewing the yacht during the race, putting into action everything that you've learned and pitting you against the competition and the elements. Afterwards you'll retire to the clubhouse for results, and you're welcome to go for a well earned drink with the instructor and crew in one of the local bars afterwards.

Cars? Cars are for wimps! If you want to drive something really amazing it's got to be a powerboat, if possible one that goes at speeds up to 125mph and powers along at such a rate that it flies above the surface of the water - no chance of a car doing that. With our powerboat experience you'll go out in the Hypercat, one of the fastest production powerboats in the world. Built in California, the boat is amazingly graceful and incredibly manoeuvrable. You'll start off with a safety briefing and introduction to the boat - with its hull the same as a class 1 powerboat, she rides on a cushion of air providing a fast, yet comfortable ride. Your crew will usually be veteran powerboat racing champions who know how to get the best out of the Hypercat. You'll learn how to control the boat at speeds up to 60mph, then as you head out into open water there's an opportunity to have a go at driving - that should blow a few cobwebs away.
