Sailing Courses
Clipper Training, has now trained over 1800 people who intend to race across the oceans and around the world as part of the Clipper Race. The experience and expertise that has been gained during this process is second to none, and has enabled Clipper Training to develop a training scheme unlike any other.
The three-part training scheme will not only teach you the skills of sailing and racing an ocean-going yacht but will also enable you to gain real experience of life at sea. The training you receive will be equally valuable whether you intend to sail in coastal waters or across oceans. Clipper Training is proud to be able to offer its training to all, whether you simply want to learn the basics or aspire to race around the world.
