HORC RYA Sailing Courses
The Ηellenic Offshore Racing Club has been delivering sailing courses since 1969 to over 26.000 sailors.
During that time we have listened intently to what our customers really ex-pect from a modern Sailing School and continuously ensure these demands are met.
For this reason we are happy to announce that from this year on we are an Official RYA Recognised Training Centre.
We are fully equipped to provide everything within the RYA cruising scheme from beginners courses or the complete 9 day combined Day Skipper pack-age, to advanced commercial Yachtmaster courses.
We decided to train on a very special racing - cruising yacht, Pogo 850. We are unique amongst all the sailing schools locally in that we have such modern and demanding yacht and have invested heavily
