Onboard Youth Group
Onboard Saturday Youth group is an opportunity for children to improve their sailing in a safe and fun environment under the tuition of qualified RYA Dinghy Instructors. We aren’t signing off any RYA levels during these sessions. We will be responsible for them on the water but you are responsible for them off the water. Therefore, a responsible adult needs to remain on site at all times. The responsible adult also is required to get the boats off the racks and back away at the end of the session. Three of the club’s SI’s run the sessions, on a voluntary basis, over the summer.

Responsible Adult Requirements
The Youth group has always required a responsible adult to stay on the club premises to assist their child to get their boat ready. You are not expected to rig, however, Optimists and Tera’s are needed to be lifted off the racks and assistance is required please.
Don’t forget to help put them away at the end of the session and stay on site. We have plenty of space to sit on the grass areas to watch your child sail and enjoy a picnic lunch.
