Home - On Water Training

Gordon J Pownall and Sally Pownall.

We offer a range of services to yachtsmen and yachtswomen, sailors and watercraft owners across the UK and Europe and specialise in :-

We pride ourselves in providing a first class service to our clients and take care of your watercraft as if it were our own, be it a 50 foot sailing yacht being delivered from Rhodes to Athens or a new RIB being taken to the Hamble.

For those we host on our yacht charters, racing weekends, team building programmes and on water experiences, you are guaranteed an exciting and enjoyable time remembering that our motto is 'safety and fun'.

Our greatest pleasure is introducing those who have never been on the water before to a taste of life 'on board' - something we both have grown to love and cherish over the years we have been sailing and boating.

RYA Training Courses - 2012 Programme

www.solentsail.co.uk

~ OnWaterTraining.co.uk ~ continues to enjoy a great partnership with Solent Sail.

As an approved RYA training centre Solent Sail offers the full range of RYA practical courses. Traditionally these courses take place over 5 days from Sunday evening until Friday afternoon, but they know it is difficult to justify using a week of your holiday for a sailing course so they have pioneered the weekend option whereby courses take place over 2.5 weekends including one Friday or Monday or even over three weekends.

Their instructors, of which Gordon is one, are chosen for their extensive sailing experience on a range of yachts, their second to none teaching ability and their inter-personal skills and they encourage your feedback to ensure that the high standards are maintained. All instructors are RYA YMI qualified.

Only using high quality yachts, each is loaded with the sort of extra equipment that you want to use when you are chartering. The onboard equipment and supplies include good quality food throughout the course or weekend and plenty of it!

See the On Water News page for 2012 training and more.
