We run a variety of Junior groups specifically for our young members (aged 8 – 18) through the summer months from April to mid-September.
On Friday evenings in the summer, we light the BBQ and the bar will be open, we welcome parents & siblings to come along and join in with the social aspect.
The sessions are free if you have your own boat and just £5 to hire a club boat.
These sessions are not formal training courses and are not suitable for beginners with no sailing knowledge. If you’re new to sailing, take a look at our courses first to learn the basics.
An introduction to racing and improvement training for children who enjoy competitive fun. RYA stage 3 with experience is required.
Racing starts at 6:30pm with each race lasting around 20 minutes. We don’t take results as the focus is practice, picking up race tips and coaching to get round the course faster each time.
Children can go on to join our Get Racing sessions on the 1st Sunday of the summer months.
Friday night Club for juniors at an intermediate level (have completed RYA stage 2) wishing to gain experience and time on the water but without racing.
Please be rigged and ready for 6.30pm, meeting on the patio for briefing and sailing till water close.
Beginners’ Group – This group is all about being out on the water, getting used to the environment and having lots of fun. This session will normally involve a experienced sailor in each boat but basic understanding of sailing is required – RYA stage 1 is required.
Intermediates’ Group – A much more focused session where the group as a whole is looking to consolidate and improve their sailing skills following the RYA scheme in their own or club boats. All participants should be stage 2 or above.
Please be rigged and ready on the patio for 10am, ready to launch at 10.30am.
