Traditional Sea School, involves an a 8 hour day, departing Wells on either of our boats, leaving on the morning tide, which we use to teach and practice all of the sailing and boating skills which include:

• Personal kit (what to bring ion your dry bag)
• How the tides work in the slkat marsh
• Parts of the boat and how to hoist and mange the sail.
• knots; reef, bowline, round turn and two half hitches, clove hitch, figure of eight and using a cleat.
• Sailing; how to sail using a lug rig of our working boats.
• Wild swimming; preparation, safety, conduct and warming up after.

When the tide ebbs and we run out of water we conduct the wildlife and foraging elements on the sand banks and empty creeks. There will be a short walk off the salt marsh for a pick up and return you to Wells.
