Who For Open to children aged 7 and above interested in developing their boating skills & learning to sail. We expect all children to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, although unfortunately we cannot accommodate adults on the course - sorry!
   
Outline The Kindersail programme will give the children basic boating skills that will enable them to have fun afloat and an introduction to sailing. Given fair weather conditions, by the end of the programme the group should be able sail round a simple triangular course.
  The Juniorsail programme is for the more experienced (second and third course sailors) able to handle the boats in more demanding conditions.
   
Course Award Children who follow the complete Kindersail course may be awarded the RYA Youth Stage 1 Award, while the Juniorsail course members may be awarded either the RYA Youth Stage 2, or 3 or 4 Awards.
