Junior Learn To Sail

Learn To Sail (LTS) is our beginner junior sailing programme, sailors start between the ages of  9- 13 (the minimum age for our course is 9). The course is sailed in optimist dinghies provided by the club and offers the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of sailing in a safe and fun environment, as well as learning about water safety. Among other things, it builds confidence and teaches self-reliance, problem-solving skills and the opportunity to challenge themselves.

The club has a range of yachts available to accommodate children who have outgrown the optimist dinghy class (55kg) and sailors can sail in pairs when conditions permit.

The course runs over 8 days, 4 weekends during November and December. On completing the course, sailors are encouraged to keep sailing throughout the season and join the annual sail and camp at Clarks Beach in February.
