JUNIOR SAILING COURSES

is open to all those under 16 and is designed to encourage children to start sailing within a sound framework of safety and good tuition. From the age of 6 we can introduce children to the fun of sailing. Our instructors use simple RYA approved techniques, making learning easy. Great emphasis is placed on safety and the well being of the student. Many juniors return year after year.
