Discover the Fun of Sailing!
Our Try Sailing Program offers children aged 6-12 the perfect introduction to the world of sailing in the safe environment of Lake Alexander. Whether your child is completely new to sailing or eager to try it out again, this program is designed to be both fun and educational. There is no limit to how many times a child can participate, so if they enjoy it and want to invite a friend along, they are welcome to join in again.
For those who develop a passion for sailing, our program provides a pathway into the Blue Fleet (for under 9s) and the Red Fleet (for under 12s). These fleets offer more advanced training, where kids can learn all the necessary skills to sail independently and care for their boats.
