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.
Mid season update – July 2026
Junior Fleet is taking a break until August 22nd when we are planning to start a series of “free of charge” sessions on the following dates:
These sessions will be primarily “on the water” practice sessions for young sailors who have already completed YSS2. They will not be part of an RYA course, there will be no charge, and the sessions may be led by RYA instructors or experienced Ogston sailors. There will be no fixed format for the sessions, but the session leaders will probably pick a topic that they have noticed weakness on in a previous session and focus on that topic. There will typically be a briefing at the start of the session, feedback on the water and a debrief at the end of the session. Maximum 6 young sailors per session. Come and join in the fun!
Youth Sailing Scheme 2 (YSS2) course
This course is for young sailors who have already completed YSS1.
Book here: click here
Cost
Juniors must be Ogston Club members to join Junior Fleet and there will be a charge of £50.00 per RYA Level Certificate.
Supervision
We do not operate in loco parentis and parents will not only be asked to attend, they will be key helpers in the running of Junior Fleet
The Young Ones
If you have a child under 8, we are planning to arrange something for them too. It won’t be formal training, but it will be fun.
