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.

The next LTS course is scheduled to start on Saturday 16th November 2024, please register your here:
