We
live in a fast paced and constantly changing environment.
If your workplace is an office you are probably bombarded
by noisy telephones, printers, fax machines, etc. There
are probably frequent interruptions from your boss, colleagues,
customers, etc. In a non-office environment,
maybe even the home, there are equivalent and/or similar
stressors. To get to, and from, work you most likely had
to endure the vagaries of the traffic either as a driver
or passenger.
Sailing
offers an alternative. Quietly caressing the waves you glide
along in relative silence. Free of all forms of pollution,
you are close to harmony with nature. The wind and the water
become your friends.
Water has been associated
with stress relief for centuries. Both the sound and motionof water have been
found to be stress relieving.
The art and science
of sailing is, in and of itself, stress relieving. You can
hear the sound of the water gently lapping against the side
of the boat as you sail quietly along being propelled by
the power of nature. The sense of accomplishment, having
harnessed the powers of nature to achieve one’s goals, is
enormous. You can always drop anchor and enjoy the sights,
sounds, and smells of the outdoors. In the case of a keelboat,
a small, relatively quiet, inexpensive, motor is used to
get in and out of harbour; typically only for a few minutes
each trip. The running costs for a sailboat are minimal
and the initial outlay can be quite small.
When you take any
of our sailing courses you will be able to rent a sailboat
at such low rates that clients have a hard time believing
them. See our boat rental
program for details. The joy is not just reaching the destination but also
the quality of the journey.
We offer courses and cruises in both
keelboats and dinghies.
