built watersports centre from which they can offer RYA tuition
in the sports of Dinghy sailing, windsurfing and jet skiing. For
the less adventurous there are canoes and pedaloes and for the
enthusiastic spectator sun beds, umbrellas and the beach bar are
all conveniently located!
DINGHY SAILING
Dinghy sailing is a fast growing
sport in the UK. The Mar Menor offers a fantastic venue in which
to learn, offering something for everyone. Sailing the latest
single-handed dinghies (one person) and under the watchful eye
of your TEAM unlimited instructor you will quickly enjoy the benefits
of learning to sail.
EQUIPMENT
TEAM unlimited offers a fleet
of brand new Laser Pico single-handed dinghies. Robustly built
in plastic and complete with a sail that can be adjusted to suit
all wind conditions and sailor sizes this is proving to be the
best "first step" in dinghy sailing. Buoyancy aids are
compulsory and provided free of charge. Wetsuits, though rarely
required are available to rent. A pair of old trainers to wear
whilst sailing is recommended.
COURSES
A two-hour introduction to sailing
course will rapidly see you in charge of your own boat. This course
covers the basics of sailing the boat and turning around to ensure
you can get back from where you started.(min. 2 max.) The more
comprehensive RYA level 1 course gives you 2 x 4 hour sessions
of practical and theory, providing a much greater insight into
the challenges of dinghy sailing. (Min. 4 max. 6)
WINDSURFING
With warm, shallow water, the latest
innovations in equipment and RYA instruction, windsurfing has
never been so easy to learn.
WINDSURFING EQUIPMENT
Using Hi-fly boards, the carbon
masts and sails made especially light for beginners the progress
made by people taking up the sport for the first is incredible.
For more experienced sailors we have a range of Bic Techno boards
and Tushingham sails. For beginners we insist on the wearing of
buoyancy aids, which are provided, free of charge. Wetsuits are
available for rent. Participants must bring a pair of training
shoes, which will protect feet and provide good grip.
COURSES
A two-hour introduction to windsurfing
course is the first step to becoming addicted to the sport. This
session will enable the beginner to raise the sail, turn the board
around and sail away. The more intensive 2 x 4 hour learn to windsurf
course helps you develop all the techniques required to allow
you to sail around a triangular course.
