"What a laugh! Friday night Ladies That Launch out in the harbour is an absolute tonic. Lovely group of ladies, friendly, fun and above all, relaxed."
Ken, Instructor
LTL is all about sailing with like minded individuals, laughing together, learning together and making friends in the bar. The most rewarding teaching I've ever done.
Lorrian, Aero Sailor
Fabulous fun and an opportunity to learn without pressure whatever your level. Has been a brilliant opportunity to get to know ladies from other clubs building a local support network for ladies' sailing.
