Sailing Adventure - France

With over 30 years experience of teaching sailing to students of all ages, this remains a speciality at a number of our centres and is popular with schools that are looking to focus on learning a new skill.

In particular, groups that are working towards components of the AQA or EdExcel GCSE PE sylabus tend to find that after a weeks tuition at a Rockley Adventure Sailing centre, they are reaching the higher levels of attainment.

Please note that all departures between 20th July 2011 and 30th August 2011 will follow a Sunday - Sunday Itinerary. All other departures of the 2011 season will travel on a Saturday - Saturday basis.
