Join Our Junior Fleet – Where Adventure Begins!
Is your child ready to discover the thrill of sailing? Our junior fleet offers young sailors aged 8-16 the perfect opportunity to learn, grow, and have incredible fun on the water.
Why Choose Our Junior Fleet?
We believe sailing builds confidence, independence, and lifelong friendships. Under the guidance of our RYA-qualified instructors, your child will master essential skills – from rigging their first boat to racing across the reservoir. Whether they're complete beginners or aspiring competitors, we provide a supportive environment where every young sailor can flourish.
What Makes Us Special?
Our juniors become part of a vibrant community, making friends who share their passion for the water. They'll develop teamwork, problem-solving skills, and resilience – qualities that extend far beyond the boat. Many of our adult members started as juniors themselves, testament to the lasting impact of our program.
Join a Winning Tradition
Our juniors regularly compete at regional and national events, but everyone progresses at their own pace. Whether your child dreams of Olympic glory or simply wants weekend adventures, we'll support their journey.
Give your child the gift of sailing – memories, skills, and friendships that last a lifetime. Contact me today to arrange a visit and see why our junior fleet is the premier choice for young sailors.
When does it start?
Junior Fleet 2026 will start in May, with sessions on a Saturday afternoon. These will cater for all abilities from absolute beginner to those who have already gained one or more RYA certificates. We are looking forward to the return of the Class of 2025.
There may well be some Saturdays when Junior Fleet will not run, because the water has been closed for an Open Meeting. We will endeavour to keep these to a minimum and you will have plenty of notice.
