The dedicated courses aim is to get hundreds of 8-17 year old sailing in 2025 and beyond.  They will be doing everything they can to make these weeks fully accessible and inclusive with no previous experience needed. The project will include a water safety element to help develop confidence for those less well versed with the sea! Please do get in touch as sailing is not only great fun but also provides a great vehicle for building a whole range of skills in young people as well as enhancing fitness and well-being.
