Course Options: For children aged 7 years please book on to Water Rats. For those with little or no sailing experience 8 years and over we suggest starting at Stage 1. Many children complete Stage 1 more than once so that they can cement their knowledge and build their water confidence before moving on. If your sailor has left a long gap in their sail training, we would recommend either returning to Stage 1, or a stage lower than that which they previously completed. Don’t worry – we make assessments throughout the week and will endeavour to move your sailor if we feel they are not in the right group. If your child has got a lot of previous experience but no formal RYA qualifications, please contact the office to discuss their requirements. We may look to organise a 1-2-1 session for them to assess which group would be most appropriate for their skill level.
