This five week programme provides an enjoyable and progressive way for children to learn to sail. We start at the beginning – rig the boats, learn the ropes and then get onboard. Over the five weeks children will have lots of fun learning sail techniques, rules of the road, capsize recovery and meteorology. Sailing also teaches them life skills including – Confidence, Communication, Creativity, Determination, Independence and Teamwork.
Children can progress on our Saturday Junior Club which takes place every Saturday morning or afternoon throughout the school term.
