There are many different pastimes and hobbies that individuals, couples and groups of families and friends can choose to participate in.  Horse Riding, Mountaineering, Kayaking, Ice-Skating or Paintballing, to name just a few, however, none of these could really be described as Holistic.  The popular, therapeutic, ancient, art of sailing could be the ideal, holistic hobby if participated in safely.

Learning how to handle all the ropes, pulleys and masts safely and even how to Skipper a small sailing boat is the best way to ensure you are more than ready to take to the seas.  Your teacher should be an experienced yachtsman who can show you how to take charge of your sailing vessel and any crew.  Experts such as the Royal Yacht Association run a bespoke course for everyone on the waters of the Solent called the RYA Day Skipper Course, young and old, male or female, these elite courses cater for every level of ability. Sailing across the tranquil and calm blue seas with the sun shining, the wind in your hair and the seagulls flying overhead is a dream many individuals have participated in.

However, the sea is a fickle mistress and the wind can change and the waves rise within minutes, causing your sailing boat to be tossed around and even capsize!  The comprehensive and thorough training you will have received from the experienced yachtsmen on your RYA Day Skipper Course will enable you to confidently cope with these conditions.
