Adult Keelboat sessions at UKSA

4 Sessions.
3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th May 2022

Keelboats are the largest of the small sailing boats and designed to be sailed by two or more people. They tend to be dryer and more stable than dinghies and multihulls, due to the weighted keel under the hull which reduces the likelihood of the boat capsizing. In some designs the keel can be raised making it easier to store and transport.

You will find many of the same controls as on a dinghy, but with extra equipment you'd find on sailing yachts, such as winches. Keelboats bridge the gap between small boats and cruisers, offering the benefits of both to beginners learning to sail.
