CYCSA YSF School Holiday Squad

The CYCSA Youth Sailing Foundation Holiday Squad provides an ideal introduction to keelboat sailing for sailors aged 13-18 whose sailing experiences range from limited to reasonably competent. Held four times a year during school term break, each course is four days in length and utilises the CYCSA Youth Sailing Foundation’s fleet of Elliott 7m keelboats, crewed by 4- 5 sailors with a confident skipper on board.

0900-1500 Wednesday 11 - Friday 13
