Afternoon Transition to Racing Squad

We’re excited to kick off our Development Squad sessions this season! Along with our "Start Sailing Program." After last year's success we’re continuing a structured racing and skill development format in the mornings for our racing squad participants.

Sessions will run on Sunday mornings from 13th October - 22nd December 2024, 19th January - 5th April 2025

What to Expect:

• Start Sailing: Our junior development program is designed to instill fundamental sailing skills in children, ensuring they learn to navigate the waters with confidence. Boats. life jackets and all equipment is provided. 

• Structured Racing: Mornings will focus on skill development through racing, including boat performance optimization, reading the wind, and learning essential sailing rules.

• Ownership and Appreciation: We encourage sailors to transition into owning their boats, fostering a deeper connection to the sport.

• Afternoon Junior Racing: In addition, we are aiming to transition junior sailors into Flying Ants and junior afternoon racing over the summer. This exciting step will require a dedicated coach boat and a group of volunteer parents to help make it happen.If you're able to assist with this and would like your child to participate, please let me know!
