If you have ever wanted to be your own skipper and feel up to the challenge then this is the weekend to become a Spread Eagle Skipper. This weekend is designed to let you demonstrate you can “Take Charge” safely and confidently and/or test your experience beyond limits that you have previously sailed on Eagle. There are various levels of skipper and details can be found on the website under Club Skipper Testing. This is a testing weekend and is overseen by one or two of the club’s assessment team. It will give an opportunity for aspiring skippers to be tested to become a club skipper or for current ‘C’ skippers to upgrade their ticket to a B+ skipper allowing them to sail further afield and at night.

Events will start on the Friday evening usually at 5pm, although the host skipper will be in touch with all crew a week or two prior to the event with detailed joining instructions. The cost of this event is £185 per person, this includes the cost of fuel.

Additional Information

In addition to this event, there could be other ‘short notice’ Club Events offered during the year which will be advised to members as and when they are arranged. If you would like a bespoke event organised for you or a group, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate this, including providing a skipper.

We are very keen to encourage new Skippers and existing Skippers to upgrade their tickets, so please do let us know if this is of interest to you. We can then organise preparation or testing events during the year.
