New website for Westbound Adventures

Post by Nick »

.
Westbound Adventures is the sailing school I did my first RYA qualification on and the sailing school I started instructing with. I did the original website way back when, and have just converted it to a new mobile-friendly wordpress site.

http://www.westboundadventures.co.uk

As always, any comments welcome.

Don't want to appear picky but the boat is hardly 'modern' and it is not a Sigma 33 OOD.

It says it is the cruising version of the 33OOD, which it is.

Modernity is all in the eye of the beholder.

I like the idea of offering heavy weather training. I wish I'd had that before my first storm.
The articles on that website are good reading too. It's too easy to mistakenly assume that "everyone must know that", and also that "I know that".

And they do seem to get about the place!
I'm fairly sure I saw the boat in Stromness or Kirkwall last summer. Followed by Mallaig later on. The boat was based at Clyde Marina for a good while, not sure if she's there currently.

I wonder how they manage to order up Heavy Weather for their training sessions?

I thought it was only the Chents Cruise that could manage that.
