!!!2025 update: Junior Sailing starts from Friday 2nd May!!!

Junior training is held on a Friday night start 6:00pm till 8:00pm early May- September

The Sessions will follow the RYA OnBoard Dinghy Sailing programme :

Run by sailing’s National Governing Body, the RYA, OnBoard is a hugely successful grass roots programme which seeks to make sailing easier to access for 8 to 18 year olds. Launched in 2005 the programme has helped introduce over 900,000 young people across the country to sailing.

As well as the obvious physical benefits provided by sailing, the OnBoard programme is carefully designed to further develop life skills and has learning development at its core. The broader learning benefits can teach young people about teamwork, independence, communication and creativity as well as giving them confidence and determination which they can take with them off the water into many other aspects of their lives.

    Hi, my 11 year old son is interested in joining in the junior sailing. Can we just turn up at the club and what gear/equipment would he need?

    Many thanks,
