Cubes / Optimists - for young kids
This course is designed for our youngest, generally from the age of 7. Children need to be confident in the water, but no requirement to be advanced swimmers. They will become familar with sailing in a fun and playfull way. The course last for 6 continuous weeks, usually on Friday mornings, subject to weather conditions. For course detail contact the Optimist Captain. |
Toppers - for young teenagers
The Club's 12 singlehanded Topper sailing dinghies provide an exciting and forgiving sailing boat. Rigging and launching are easy, the dinghy handles smoothly and its injection moulded polypropylene hull can take a beating if it needs to. We offer 2 types of courses: one beginner course for newcomers to sailing and one for sailors with previous experience. Both courses target children in the ages of 9 to 16 years old and aim to provide easy access to the adult sailing once the teenager sailor has gained the ability, maturity and passes the minimum weight requirements for Lasers or Hobies. Courses are usually run for 6 weeks during weekend days, the beginner courses during the mornings and the advanced courses during the afternoons. If you are interested please contact the Topper Captain. |
