We run these in autumn, winter and spring. They last about 4 hours and you do not need any previous sailing experience. The skipper and experienced Mate will meet you at the boat, kit you out with a life jacket and run you through a full safety brief before heading out through the marina tidal lock and onto the Mersey.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<strong>Racing\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211;\u00a0We race on the river Mersey during the Autumn, Winter and Spring in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lyc.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liverpool Yacht Club Series<\/a>. You do not have to be an expert racer to take part &#8211; you just need some previous sailing experience and a wish to apply or hone your skills.\u00a0 Under motor, there are opportunities to hone your skills as crew or helm for leaving and returning to finger berths and the lock pontoons, and rafting to other yachts in the lock. Under sail there are opportunities to hone your helming skills, hoisting and handling the sails (including spinnaker), trimming the mainsheet, genoa and spinnaker, amongst others. You might do as many tacks and gybes in a 2 hour race as you would in a week of cruising! Just let your skipper know what you want to achieve.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<strong>Cruising<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; We offer cruising from a few day to several weeks with our RYA qualified Skippers.\u00a0\u00a0Throughout the Summer season we cruise in the best cruising areas around the Irish Sea. \u00a0This often includes the beautiful\u00a0<strong>Clyde estuary\u00a0<\/strong>and the\u00a0<strong>Hebrides.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.5ksc.org.uk\/booking.php\">Sailing Programme<\/a>\u00a0is updated in the spring and throughout summer with available cruises.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\">\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" class=\"wp-image-377\" src=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cockpit-crew-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"377\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cockpit-crew-3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/sail-with-us\/cockpit-crew-3\/\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cockpit-crew-3.jpg 960w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cockpit-crew-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cockpit-crew-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cockpit-crew-3-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" class=\"wp-image-378\" src=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julie-under-instruction-at-the-wheel.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"378\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julie-under-instruction-at-the-wheel.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/sail-with-us\/julie-under-instruction-at-the-wheel\/\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julie-under-instruction-at-the-wheel.jpg 960w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julie-under-instruction-at-the-wheel-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julie-under-instruction-at-the-wheel-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julie-under-instruction-at-the-wheel-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-547 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Nikki-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Nikki-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Nikki-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/5ksc.org.uk\/sail\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Nikki.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sailing with us The club is keen to attract new members, even knowing this it may be a bit daunting to introduce yourself to established members or to book on a sail, so here are some suggestions: Just do it!
