BodyHoliday in St Lucia has recently added a sailing club to its superb range of facilities, offering guests at the all-inclusive resort an exhilarating new way to experience the Caribbean. Sailing lessons are available throughout the year while a theme month is run every spring, allowing guests to learn from Olympic sailors such as Saskia Clark and Nick Thompson.

THE SAILING SCHOOL

The sailing school’s fleet comprises a J/24 and two new X-Treme26 boats, plus a number of Hobie Cats and Hobie Cat 16s.
Those with some sailing experience can borrow Hobie Cats following an assessment of ability or go out with an experienced instructor. A number of sailing lessons and courses are also available for sailors of different abilities. Sailing regattas are held every Saturday, with new and experienced sailors having an equal chance at winning a trophy.

The following sailing lessons and courses are available:

• BodyHoliday Intro to Sailing is a complimentary 60 minute lesson which allows participants to discover the excitement of sailing, covering aspects such as hoisting the mainsail and winching the sails. Price: free of charge.
• Private sailing lessons are available for all abilities. Price: US$150 for 2 hours.
• The Foundation Sailing Course is a four hour course which includes one hour in a 13ft Hobie Cat to master the basics, one hour on a 16ft Hobie Cat where a jib is introduced, and finally two hours on either the J/24 or the X-Treme 26 Keel Boats. Price: US$200.
• BodyHoliday sailing school is affiliated to the American Sailing Association and offers a range of courses.
• The ASA 101 course includes 12 hours off the water and on board a J-24, covering the basics of sailing terminology, navigation rules, sailing manoeuvres, and safety procedures. This allows the participant to skipper a sloop-rigged keelboat by day in light winds and sea conditions. Price: US$395
• The ASA 103 course builds on the basic knowledge acquired on the ASA 101 course and aims to fine tune sailing skills, understanding of navigation, safety procedures and seamanship. This allows the participant to skipper a larger sloop-rigged keelboat by day in moderate winds and sea conditions. Price: US$395
• Charter the resort’s 24 foot sail boat or one of the new X-Treme 26 sailboats and explore the island’s coastline with a skipper. Prices: US$250 for half day charter, US$400 for full day charter.

The third annual Spring Sail will take place in March 2019, one of BodyHoliday's newest theme months where Olympic sailors work alongside the sailing club’s team to offer introductory lessons and competitive regattas. Olympic gold medallist Saskia Clark and fellow Olympian Nick Thompson will be returning to the resort in 2019 after a successful month in 2018.
