For young people we run a twice weekly Youth Club on Monday nights and Sunday mornings, together with advanced sessions for those wishing to take their skills further, sailing racing in particular has become very popular this year with a number of weekly sessions aimed at competitive sailing.
In addition to this we run a number of off-site activities including river sailing trips on the Tidal Thames and trips away to other watersports locations.
