Junior Training:

Junior training, for children between the ages of 8 and 15, takes place on Monday and Tuesday evenings (5.30-8pm) during the summer and autumn terms. Juniors attend on one evening a week and these sessions follow the RYA Youth Dinghy Sailing Scheme, RYA Advanced Modules or RYA Racing Modules. 

There is currently a waiting list for junior training. To be added to the waiting list, please email us. Members will be given priority.

Junior Summer Week:

Each year in the school summer holidays we run a summer week.  This week is not all about working towards certificates (although we do that too!), we also play lots of games, have a fun regatta and a sail-away day with a picnic lunch.  This week is usually in high demand and members will be given priority.
