Sailing is a wonderful way to get children out in the fresh air, learning new skills and participating in a sport that may be both individual and team orientated. Our courses are designed to provide a fun safe and enjoyable introduction to small boat sailing. We give children an introduction to fundamental boat handling and essential knowledge that will allow them to know the freedom of sailing small boats. Teach them new skills, build their confidence and water awareness under the guidance of our instructors.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
* Kids ages - between 7 and 12 years
*What's supplied ? - all safety equipment, boats and instructors, bring sun protection and dry clothes
*What do you need ? - You don't need to buy any special equipment as you should be able to find required clothing already in your wardrobe. .
* What will kids learn? - boat handling skills, right of way rules for craft, the science of efficient sailing and knowledge and confident water awareness.
* Swimming level required - Children who participate in our activities should be able to swim. We supply lifejackets which they are required to wear at all times.
*There is some cost, largely to cover liability ,we provide three two hour sessions free and then a decision can be taken according to the level of interest.
*SUPPORT - IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PARTICIPATING CHILDREN HAVE PARENTAL SUPPORT IN ATTENDANCE AND BEYOND THE LESSONS. Children tend to misplace equipment and do not have the vision to notice wear and tear on equipment and both issues limit sailing time and outcomes.
* This year we will commence on 21st September and with sufficient interest and good weather may continue during the school holidays.
