Cadets

Weekly learning through fun - aged 7-18

Our welcoming, family-friendly sailing club invites young people to join our youth sailing programme and enhance our cadet section.

No experience is needed; all skill levels are welcome with opportunities to earn RYA qualifications.

Supported by RYA instructors, experienced sailors, and parents, we ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on and off the water. We aim to foster a love for sailing and build confidence both on the water and in life.

Participants range from ages 7 to 17.

What's involved?

• * Working as a group
• * Team games
• * Water confidence
• * A range of sailing opportunities
• * Kayaking and paddle boarding
• * Maximum fun

We provide sailing equipment and wetsuits at no cost, and offer a variety of club dinghies like Optibats, Toppers, Fevas, Laser 2000s, and Visions. A voluntary £3 contribution per session supports boat maintenance.

Sessions run every Saturday from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with social time afterwards. Our well-stocked galley and bar are available for members and guests, and we often set up the large BBQ outside.

There's great camaraderie among our young sailors, who enjoy the social aspects as much as sailing.

Parents must accompany their children and can learn to sail and drive powerboats through our training programmes. We welcome all parents with a tour of the clubhouse and ways to get involved.

Join us for Club Week in early August for daily sailing sessions.

We look forward to welcoming you 'on-board' our family-friendly sailing club.
