Team Grafham Intermediate and Advanced 

For the Winter sessions please make sure appropriate clothing is worn. You will need a wetsuit or dry suit when the Black Flag is flying.

Team Grafham caters for young sailors aged 8 upwards with a range of experience for those sailors who have passed the RYA Stage 2 course. Team Grafham Intermediate provides an opportunity to develop skills and confidence.  We include race training and seamanship skills for the more experienced sailors in Team Grafham Advanced. 

These sessions are a great way to improve your sailing skills as well as having lots of fun and meeting other young sailors.  

Please check with the Office if you are unsure which session to book.

Team Grafham is also where we carry out pre-course assessments for those who want to attend our more advanced courses.

 

Youth Summer Camp 2025

Now a regular feature in our summer programme:

  • During the day our team, led by Chief Instructor Matt French, will provide opportunities to dinghy sail and windsurf. This is a fun week – no RYA certificates, but expeditions, games etc.  
  • From 17:00 onwards each evening we hand over to parents to supervise their children, with free camping allowed on site - please pre-book this. If parents are available to help during the day as well, that would be great!
  • You can pre-order meals for the week – we offer Breakfast and Packed Lunches. Please speak to Lisa in the cafe or telephone 07738 401190. 
  • All participants must have a parent or person acting in loco parentis overnight – minimum age 18.

Summer Camp is a fun packed week for youth sailors with an RYA Stage 2 Certificate. The week includes sailing development, wind surfing, wing surfing, spinnaker sailing, high performance catamaran sailing and much more! Off the Water we enjoy camping with evening games and entertainment with a fun and enjoyable atmosphere!

Don't miss out on the best week of the year!

Please note: All participants must have RYA Stage 2 or above.

Please book your Tents and Campervan spaces (coming soon)
