Safety

The Bay of Fornells

The bay of Fornells is a large, unspoilt, (almost) landlocked sailing area which can be sailed in all wind directions. It has a narrow opening to the sea and no disturbance from tides. For sailors and windsurfers of all levels, it provides a friendly and safe sailing environment.

With your safety our priority, we ask that sailors wear a buoyancy aid at all times. When sailing single-hander dinghies in strong winds, we also ask that you wear a helmet. For windsurfers, we follow the RYA recommendation and suggest that a buoyancy aid is used while learning.

Safety Boats

We intend to provide the best safety cover of any sailing centre in the world. A fleet of Valiant 4.9m semi inflatables, with 40hp Mercury & Suzuki four stroke engines, being used for both teaching and safety cover.

Radio Communication

We use Icom M37E handheld radios exclusively across our operations — ensuring clear, reliable communication between our rescue boats and instructors at all times.

Safety Boat Drivers

We are an RYA approved Training Centre, and all instructors who use safety craft are RYA Powerboat qualified. Whether you a novice sailor taking your first tacks and gybes, an expert on a sea sail outside the bay, or a parent watching your children from the beach... you can be sure that quality, modern safety craft, with qualified drivers, are always on hand.
