Mile Building

Tailor made training on chartered boats or your own boat

Ideal for students wishing to gain sea miles, perhaps you have completed your RYA Competent Crew or RYA Day Skipper course and would like to gain more experience and build more miles before progressing to the next level.

This is also popular with experienced sailors looking to achieve the qualifying passages required for the RYA Yachtmaster Coastal or RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualification.

Tailor Made Training.
At Howellsail we also recognise that everyone is an individual with differing needs, and can provide `tailor made` training. Utilising our associate sail training establishments in the UK and Mediterranean we are able to provide that all round experience with different sailing areas, different yachts, different crews, and even some dinghy sailing to develop those sailing skills.
