Sail a Yacht - What kind of yachts to choose if you are an amateur?

Are you learning how to sail a yacht. Though it may sound and look very easy, the main truth is that, surfing a yacht requires lot of tenacity and hard work. Also, if you plan to ride on a yacht you would have to know the different technique- how to manoeuvre the yacht, how to change the direction of the sails when the direction of the wind changes, how to tug at the ropes, how to balance on the surf board and many more.

Choosing your first boat

If you are an amateur in the yachting industry then it is better to start off with a smaller sized boat. A small boat means something like a dinghy or a small sloop. A boat that can overturn will also teach you the true techniques and procedures of sailing through the turbulent waves and the rough winds. By a small boat it is meant that the boats will be around 22- 27 feet in height. A boat that is easy to sail would easily teach an amateur like you to control the boat in a matter of few days.

Light in weight

You should also consider that the boat that the yacht you hire would be light so that you can control the yacht easily. A boat that is light is easy to sail, with guests in it as well. If you are an amateur try a boat that is off good quality and has efficient speed.

Buy a second hand boat

Everybody likes the feel of a new boat. However, the truth is that a second hand boat will be better off when you are learning how to sail. Try out various second hand boats and semi customised yachts that you would be comfortable in and then ultimately go for your boat. Also, as an amateur do not go for high end priced yachts. Try cheap yachts on which you would practise at first and then go on to a high end one once you feel that you have the grip over your yacht.

Wood boats

Wooden boats are light in weight. So the best thing you can go for is a wooden yacht. After you are a little bit acquainted with your yacht, then go for the steel of aluminium yachts that would be helpful to you.

Essential or desirable

Which kind of a boat would you choose at the very beginning? An essential boat or a desirable boat? If you are an amateur, the best kind of boats would be essential boat that would teach you the pros and cons of swimming. Do not look into what the yacht is made up of, what basic accessories it has and how it would be a faux pass in society. You can always go for the best once you are an expert.

Some of the best yachts can be available at India Yacht Charters at an affordable price. Happy sailing!
