Designed as initial sailing experience for beginners, this is the program to see if your child likes sailing and wants to pursue the sport. For this course we use our fleet of Pacer dinghies. Children are accompanied in the boat by one of our qualified instructors. The big focus is fun - we want children to love it and come back and do more!
