Access 2 3 WideClick this link for Prices, Order form and VAT forms
Note. There is a printable PDF leaflet link at the foot of this page + an Adobe reader download link if needed The Access 2.3 wide is an ideal choice for any sailability group that is planning to have children teaching children or children taking other children just for the ride.
The wide seat gives seating for two children and the simplicity of having just one sail make it very safe and allows the trainee be trained in the use of each element of control i.e. Mainsail only, Helm only, then combinations until she/he is controlling the whole boat.
They can also be trained in the basics of racing strategies and tactics.
In an ideal club arrangement the sailor would then move into an Access 2.3 single seat dinghy for their first solo sailing and racing, which is a massive confidence builder.
The use of the more experienced child sailors as trainers to other children is a great way of building character and esteem.
If Adults are to be the trainers then the Access 303 wide would be the better choice. Summary of Main Features
