Junior Seals Dinghy Sailing Session-afternoon

Children sailing small boats on a sunny lake

Sessions run on Saturdays from 1330–1630, continuing until 25th October. Additional sessions will also run during weekday school holidays. Please note, a minimum of 3 children is required for sessions to go ahead. Age range: 8–14 years.

Now open to children who have achieved RYA Stage 1, Seals offers the chance to build on their knowledge, develop practical skills, and gain more independence under the guidance of our friendly instructors. The Instructors are all RYA qualified, and will also have had additional training in the provision of new and innovative ways to teach sailing. Buoyancy aids are supplied as part of each course. We will only allow our buoyancy aids to be used which are checked thoroughly and tested to ensure they remain safe. Wetsuits are also supplied but please feel free to wear your own wetsuit if you own one.

We suggest that you wear old trainers, or shoes that you don’t mind getting wet. Please no Crocs or flipflops as they catch on parts of the boat and can be dangerous to the wearer.

Please make sure your child brings a towel, warm clothing to put on after your course, including shoes, and snacks or drinks that you like. Don’t forget to bring suntan lotion. A cap or sunglasses are also advised.

Cost per half-day session – £36
