Highly recommend
First Class sailing was as expected - First Class! The course was run with total professionalism along with it being engaging and fun. The team at First Class were impeccable along with the course leader. If you're looking around the London area or UK to do any sailing course I would highly recommend them. Definitely going to use them again in the near future.
