Can't afford to learn to sail!

by Alex
(UK, SHEFFIELD)

Hello,

I wanted to ask people who do sailing and people that might know an answer to my question, so everyone.

I have always wanted to sail and learn to sail, but with the circumstances, it has not been possible. I am fed up of waiting! I am 28 and I want to live my dream.

The problem I have is I can't afford to do sailing so I was looking for someone to offer me an apprenticeship or earn while you learn but can't find anything.

Please any advice.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

I would incline to disagree with your argument that sailing is expensive. Learning how to sail is cheap, buying your own boat can be expensive.

I did some research for you and found that South Yorkshire Sailing Club, which is in Sheffield, costs £100 for the whole year and you can learn how to sail there.

See http://www.sysc.org.uk/

Search in Google for some other nearby reservoirs to learn how to sail.

Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Alex Dotsch
