The Experience
How It Works
Arrive at the Club
Meet your crew at RMYC, Port of Chennai. Quick safety briefing and life jackets on.
Board Your Boat
Step aboard the Omega or J/80. Your skipper introduces you to the boat and the basics.
Sail the Bay
4 hours on the water. Take turns at the helm. Feel the wind. Learn the ropes. Literally.
Earn Your Certificate
Return to shore with a First Sail certificate and memories that will last.
Why It Works
Better than another dinner. Better than another bar.
No One Gets Left Out
Everyone takes turns. Everyone learns. Everyone contributes to actually sailing the boat.
Real Skills, Real Fast
You will learn to read the wind, trim a sail, and steer a boat. In 4 hours.
Photos That Mean Something
Not just smiling at a camera. Action shots of your crew actually doing something together.
Stories Worth Telling
Months later, you will still be talking about that time you sailed the Bay of Bengal.

One Last Thing
Your group has done everything else. Dinners. Trips. The same bars.
This is different. This is 4 hours where everyone actually does something together. No one on their phone. No one just watching.
