Yachts Used for the Mile Builder Course
All of our 2-day Mile Builder sailing weekends take place aboard spacious and fully-equipped Bavaria 38 and Bavaria 44 cruising yachts. These comfortable vessels are ideal for both novice and seasoned sailors, offering ample room to learn, collaborate, and relax between passages. With modern amenities and reliable handling, you’ll have everything you need on board for an enjoyable and productive weekend out on the water.
Safety Procedures and Standards
Safety sits at the heart of every mile under sail with us. Our courses are delivered following RYA & MCA operating procedures and best practices, ensuring a professional and secure environment throughout. Our instructors are RYA/MCA Qualified and highly experienced, continually monitoring both tidal and weather conditions to make well-informed decisions at sea.
Before you even set foot on deck, we conduct clear safety briefings covering life jacket use, emergency protocols, and safe movement about the yacht. High-quality Baltic automatic life jackets, wet weather gear, and essential safety kit are provided—and thoroughly checked before every departure.
Each passage is carefully planned with flexibility in mind, so we’re always prepared to adjust routes or schedules in response to changing conditions. If Mother Nature tries her best to surprise us, the safety and comfort of everyone on board will always come first.
It’s this uncompromising approach to best-practice seamanship and modern safety standards—with full respect for both sea and crew—that sets our experience apart.

Number of Participants Per Sailing Event
For each Mile Builder Sailing Weekend, we keep group sizes small to ensure a top-notch learning and sailing experience. With a maximum of four participants on board, you’ll benefit from plenty of hands-on practice, personalised instruction from your RYA-qualified skipper, and a friendly, close-knit crew atmosphere.
This approach means every crew member has ample opportunity to get involved, ask questions, and develop their skills—whether you’re at the helm, plotting passages, or simply enjoying life at sea with fellow sailors.
