Sail back through time with our Celestial Sailing Weekend in The Solent. For hundreds of years before the advent of GPS sailors navigated their way across the ocean using the heavenly bodies. While this weekend will provide excellent practical navigational experience, you’ll also learn this ancient and still vital skill. If you are just curious about how to use a sextant or have taken the Yachtmaster or Ocean Theory courses this weekend is ideal, offering both an introduction and a refresher.
