Lessons

Learn to sail with Noukhada Sailing | As a sailing business that aims to get sailors, and aspiring sailors, out on the UAE coastal waters safely, our focus is on practical, hands on, sailing lessons | We do not have levels that we guarantee to award you after so many days training | Either you can do it, or you can’t, but we will teach you how and, along the way, assess your skills. | How long does it take to learn to sail? | This is a difficult one to answer because it really depends on the individual (you!) | We have never managed to teach anyone to sail safely in less than 4 hours and it takes, usually, 8 hrs | However, beware, a few people never really get it | We break our lessons down into four, 2 hr lessons, Lesson 1 to Lesson 4 (see table below) | What boat do we learn in? | The vast majority of teaching will be in our Topaz Unos boats | When are the lessons? | Every afternoon except Sunday | Where? | EMM launch point | How big are the groups? | The group will never have more than 6 students. You might be lucky and only have 1 person in the group (you!) | What do the lessons consist of? | In the spirit of transparency, below is an outline of the syllabus which is much more water based (sailing) than classroom based | How long are the lessons? | Each lesson is 2 hrs | Price? Each 2 hour scheduled lesson is AED 540 | Half a lesson, one hour, costs AED 300 | How can I progress after L4? | As part of our continuous improvement programme we will not only upgrade L1 to L4 but have produced L5 to L8 to bring you up to a basic understanding of racing | The upgrade L1 to L4 syllabus will be published soon and the new L5 to L8 soon after | Booking | ring or email the office or book online
