Junior Racing Series

Published 11:12 on 25 Apr 2023

This Sunday saw the first of the 2023 Junior sailing race series. The series is for young sailors who are gaining confidence and ability, racing is the natural next step and it hugely helps their development and confidence. We have a number of children who regularly race between April and October. This is a fun way to start racing and results will count towards a series as with the normal club racing with a prize-giving at the AGM.

Racing starts at 11am on Sundays.

The Junior Race is set and recorded by the Officer of the Day and isn't a 'drop and go' session as we are not professional coaches. Parents are therefore asked to stay at the Club to help out on shore.If your child can sail already or has done a course and is able to sail unaided, this is the next step. It is aimed at members' children aged from 7 to 14 years old who are able to sail a simple course, have a boat or confident in rigging, looking after and putting away a club boat and want to improve their sailing. If your child is keen but still struggling then further training is required to take part either via further courses or the Sunday morning kids club.We can't wait to see you on the water.
