Sea Pig - Small Yacht Adventures 

The perfect way to get sailing on Windermere 

Sea Pig is our Bay Raider Expedition boat. She is designed for close inshore adventure sailing; she’s fast, nimble, responsive and hard to capsize.

This makes her an ideal lake cruising boat to teach sailing in, picnic and camp from, explore Windermere and adapt to a wide variety of specific needs.

Sea Pig is rated for 6 adults so can take 5 clients and the instructor.

With up to 4 sails, oars and an engine Sea Pig is super flexible and can meet you at your waterside accommodation freeing you from the car for the day.

We can anchor for lunch, pop up the windbreak or sprayhood and even hide below in her little cabin if it is chilly. Alternatively, we hoist the pirate flag and raid the local chip shop for a warm top-up. 

Sail and Wild Camp Weekend

Sailing the boat  Weekend

Wendy%20sailing%20fast@3x

We run a weekend dedicated simply to sailing the boat. 

Perfect for those who simply want to go sailing - perhaps you’ve done lessons and are itching to get out there or perhaps you want to just have the experience of spending time afloat without the pressure of learning. 

 Climb aboard and we will just sail (till we arrive at the other end) with the skipper on hand to do or supervise the difficult bits. Before heading back the next day

Sea Pig is an ideal teaching platform. She is both a responsive and easy to handle boat underway and a stable platform for learners while stopped.

Sea Pig is self-sufficient for teaching and as such can move to the best parts of the lake or even start the lesson from your waterside accommodation.

With features of both a dinghy and a yacht, we can teach most aspects of dinghy sailing and keelboat sailing from a single vessel.

This is an excellent option for those thinking they want to begin sailing or buy a boat

Sailing days - Sail Windermere England's Largest Lake

Green yacht surges under red sails

A full day on the water having a great go of sailing.

The day starts ensuring everyone has the kit they need to be comfortable for the day and then motoring away from the shore. Very soon you will be hoisting the sails and learning the ropes. Expect to steer and operate the boat yourselves while your instructor guides you.

We spend some time making sure everyone is comfortable and has suitable seating and support before setting off for our first experience.

We all share a single boat which has a big cockpit and plenty of space.

After a hearty lunch and reflection on the morning’s introductory sail, it is time to get back out there, with more knowledge and technique to see if you can sail a triangular course - your first sailing milestone.
