Sailing Away

Sailing used to be an exclusive pastime, but the growth of flotilla holidays in the Mediterranean has made it accessible to everyone. That, coupled with recent Olympic gold medals in sailing and the headline grabbing exploits of Ellen MacArthur, has led to charter companies reporting a twenty-five per cent rise in bookings.

Even if, like me, your only previous sailing experience had been a dash across the Channel to stock up on festive booze, a four day training course at the start of your break would give you enough ability and the necessary qualification to charter your own yacht on a flotilla holiday.
