Youth Development Club 8

Calling all our young sailors between the ages of 12 -17 to get sailing together. We have 8 dates on Saturday afternoons in 2026 aimed at getting our teenage sailors together to enjoy socialising, being out on the water and sailing with their own age group. Informal tuition and safety support provided by Steve Knight and Erica Caswell.

If you are a teenager and can sail a triangular course (and have RYA Youth Stage 3 or above), come and join in the fun. Activities will include skills development but also games and trying different things. Tell us what you fancy and we will see what we can arrange.  Just £10 a session plus £5 if you need to hire a club boat. The dates are:

Summer block: 2nd May, 16th May, 6th June, 27th June and 11th July

Autumn block: 5th September, 19th September and 3rd October

You can book for a whole block (Summer £40 or Autumn £25) or book each session independently for £10.

Bookings close at 2pm on the Thursday before.

These courses are only open to club members. If you are not a currently a club member you can join the club as a full member or an interim member for 3 months in order to access the course. This is a condition of our RYA Centre Accreditation. Details are on the website here:
