Discover Sailing! Come and Try sessions

Have you ever wanted to try sailing? Now is your chance, right here in Bedford!

Our friendly club is opening its doors and would like to invite you to come and join us to experience this exciting sport in a hour long taster session on a Saturday afternoon.

This summer we are offering taster sessions in both dinghy sailing and windsurfing. Please see below for details of what is involved and how to book.

Dinghy Sailing:

One of our experienced volunteer RYA instructors will be there to show you the ropes and will take you for a sail in one of our larger dinghies, letting you take control of the boat once you, and they, are confident!
It is unlikely that you will get very wet, but it is a water sport, so you should come prepared with a change of clothes just in case.

Tickets are £5 – book one if you are on your own or two if you plan to bring the family (the boat will accommodate two adults and two young children along with the instructor)

Tickets can be booked at –

At the end of the session we’ll be happy to explain how you can take a course at Priory Sailing Club and perhaps even join the club to take up the sport.

Windsurfing :

This ninety minute session will start by teaching you the basics of how to stand on the board and hold the sail – all on a dry land simulator!

Once the basics are mastered you will be able to take to the water under the watchful eye of  one of our experienced volunteer RYA instructors, and feel what it’s like to sail standing up!

It’s likely that you will fall in, so you will get wet, so we will provide you with a wetsuit and buoyancy aid. You’ll need your swimming costume and a T shirt to wear underneath the wetsuit and an old pair of trainers that will get wet.

Tickets are just £5 and available at – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/discover-sailing-come-and-try-windsurfing-session-tickets-154148138231

At the end of the session we’ll be happy to explain how you can take a course at Priory Sailing Club and perhaps even join the club to take up the sport.
