Weir Wood Sailing Club has a long tradition of introducing children and young people to sailing. Our aim is to introduce children and young people to the sport of sailing in a safe, controlled but fun environment.
Weir Wood Sailing club is a members club, with organised youth activities for its members aged between 8 and 17 on Saturday afternoons from late April until late July and from September to the end of October.
