Please dress for the weather forecast and bring an extra layer as it can get chilly as the sun sinks behind the fells. Buoyancy aids will be provided.

Accessibility

There is gravel under foot for 200M from the car park to the jetty. Access to the craft is by slipway or jetty. You must step up or down (depending on water level) into the boat. You may need to move from side to side in the boat so you would need to be able to duck under the boom. Accessible parking available on site.

Other

The sailing craft will either by a Laser 16 or a Hawk 20 depending on the number of people who have booked. The sailing craft will be operated by a RYA qualified instructor from Derwent Water Marina.
