Will I enjoy the sailing area? Will I also have an enjoyable sailing experience, as well as a Training Course? Are all meals, drinks, snacks, fuel, domestic gas etc included in the price? Will I be in suitably-sized and comfortable Training Yacht? - Too small (<36' ) vs. Too big (43'+) Will my training PowerBoat be a small, cold & wet open 'club trainer' boat needing wetsuits, or will it be a new cruising sportsboat more like the type I will probably be using? Is it a 'one-man-band' operation, or a more established and trustworthy Training Centre? Beware 'All Inclusive' schemes - don't let the operator reduce or impact your experience just to save them money! 1st ScotSail Training offers choice and extremely high quality and personal service - our brand new equipment and high customer turnover means low, prices! 5-Nights Week- just £395 inc Full Board / fuel etc. 2-Nights Weekend - just £165 inc Full Board / fuel etc. 2-Days PowerBoating - from just £225 (inclusive price!)

 

When choosing your RYA Course / Experience provider you should always check what kind of knowledge, comfort and service is being offered and exactly what you are paying for. Many of the smaller operators or private owner-instructors may charge extra for food, boat-fuel or possibly other important inclusions such as Full Board.
