25% Off Group Holidays open til February 28th only!

Sorry - our Laser training week with British Olympic Head Coach, Chris Gowers has already sold out. There are still a few places left on our intensive catamaran racing master class on May 5th run by current World Champion, Olympian and good friend of Wildwind, Kostas Trigonis, but please book up quickly to avoid disappointment. Read more here.

25% Discount for Groups of 10 or More!

Our 25% offer for group holidays has been extended until February 28. This offer applies to group bookings of more than 10 persons for holidays in May & June.

    "Simon and his team have created a heaven on earth at Vassiliki for cat and dinghy sailors.I knew Simon when we used to race each other on the Hobie 16 circuit and at Eastbourne Sailing Club, he always showed up when it was windy. It's taken me 24 years to visit the WW centre but when I did I found it was full of like minded sailors blasting away in the bay and enjoying the aprés-sail in the evenings. We can't wait to come back!
    Iain Rogers, Corinthian Sailing Club

Early season Training Weeks

What Kostas Trigonis, current World & European Tornado champion, America's cup sailor, Olympian, and former 470 World Champion doesn't know about racing isn't really worth knowing. If you want to jump your way to the front of a multihull fleet you couldn't do better than join him at Wildwind for the week of May 5th - prices from only £765 including flights - about the cost of a new spi and guess which one will get you the better place on the race course. Still a few places left (as of 20th Feb) - find out more here.

Sorry - Laser training with Chris Gowers is already sold out!

Sailing and YOGA?

For the past seven years Wildwind have been offering yoga, Pilates and other fitness classes along with their sailing holidays in Greece. Much appreciated by non-sailing partners, of course yoga is fantastic preparation for sailing, even if it's watching the classes while the wind picks up!

Wildwind's Healthy Options programme is unique - look here for the Greek centre's activities, or, if you can't wait to get out of the British winter, why not have a look at their latest luxury healthy package in the exotic city of Marrakech.

Laser Grand Prix Series and Masters Nationals

Wildwind sponsor the Laser Class Association's Grand Prix series and Masters National Championships.

Championship heritage

While Simon Morgan, Wildwind's founder, has a British National Championship under his belt, father Tony went a step further - here he is with helm Keith Musto in silver medal position in the Flying Dutchman class at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
