We generally only take children of 8 or above, this is due to the size of the buoyancy aids we have and also they need to be able to follow clear instructions. Some of our regular race leaders are 70+ and show no signs of slowing down.Do I need to be able to swim?
Yes, you need to be able to swim and be confident around water.What equipment do I need to bring to go sailing?
Bring an old pair of trainers, a wind and waterproof top. If it’s sunny, bring suntan lotion and a cap, if it’s cold, bring a woolly hat. Avoid jeans and cotton as it can be very cold when wet. It’s usually a degree or two cooler on the water so bear this in mind. Always bring a towel and a change of clothing, people sometimes fall in! We will provide buoyancy aids and will give you instruction.Can I hire a boat?
