Sail Trim
This book is very easy to read and teaches you all sorts about how to trim your sails to get the most out of them. Beverley who is a great reader has read it several times already while Gaynor who is a slower reader has read it twice now. It is certainly a book we will both be reading again as we improve.

Safe Skipper
This company sells apps for your phone to test yourself on all sorts of knowledge from bouys to lights. The apps come in at less than £2.00 so a reasonable cost for improving your skills. However there are some quizes for Free These quizzes are fun to do and are a great way of learning as well as testing your knowledge.
The RNLI turned 200 years old on 4th March 2024. So as sailors and people who promote the joy of sailing, we thought that we would like to raise just £200. What we hope is that other people take up the shout and raise their own £200. In the last 200 years the RNLI have saved over 144,000 lives and yet they are funded entirely by people like you. They are not government funded.
