Optimist Beginners 2017
Welcome to the beginners sign-up page if you are starting sailing and are 7 to 11 years old.
We teach in a fun, safe environment with Dinghy Instructors helped by Assistant Instructors and sailing parents. On arrival we will give you an Optimist log book so you can track your progress. Everyone is a volunteer and it's important your Mum, Dad or responsible adult stays at the club.
Included is the use of one of our training boats, buoyancy aid and helmet, so no need to have your own.
New starters should plan on at least 4 sessions to get up to level 1 and by then you will know how far you would like to go.
When you arrive you will help rig your boat and then the real fun starts. Please note: you cannot book sessions on the day - this is so we can make sure we have enough instructors.
