Junior Section             

Welcome to our Juniors page!

We have an active Junior section with fleets of Optimists, Toppers, Mirrors & Lasers.

Junior training & racing takes place each summer with regular Saturday training sessions, plus two full weeks of racing & training during the Summer Holidays.

Our training fleet is split into 3 groups with our youngest sailors just learning to sail & have fun in Optimists.

We have a Topper group for more advanced sailing and race-training, plus an older group of Topper & Laser sailors developing their racing skills.

We also offer race training and encourage our junior sailors to join in club racing. Some of our more experienced Topper sailors compete at open-meetings and in 2005 one of our sailors qualified for the  RYA South Zone Topper squad.

We have a number of RYA qualified racing coaches and we’re keen to help our young sailors achieve success at club level and beyond.

For 2008 we’re also planning to run the RYA “Start Racing” & “Intermediate Racing” courses for some of our Junior members.

Our recognized Junior fleets are Optimist & Toppers. We have club boats available for people to try out so if you would like to join us we’d love to hear from you.
