On Board Club

What is Onboard Club?

Our Onboard Sailing Club is designed for young people aged 9-16 who are eager to sail regularly with the guidance of expert instructors. The club provides a fantastic opportunity for youth to enhance their sailing skills in a supportive and structured environment. In case the weather isn’t suitable for sailing, we also offer paddle sports to ensure that our members can continue to enjoy water activities.

What to Wear and Getting Changed

We aim to ensure that all participants are comfortable and safe while sailing. Here are some guidelines:

Clothing and Equipment:
  • We provide a range of wetsuits and buoyancy aids for members to use.
  • Please bring suitable footwear, such as wetsuit boots or old trainers, as our shorelines are stony.
Changing Facilities:
  • Changing rooms and toilet facilities are available on site.
  • To facilitate a quick change, we ask that members arrive with their swimming costume/trunks underneath their regular clothing.

Refreshments

  • We do not sell any refreshments on-site. We recommend that members bring along a snack and a drink to keep their energy levels up during the sessions.

Contact Us

Note

  • Spaces are limited each season, so early registration is advised, however new members are welcome all season!
  • Membership payments and session fees are required to confirm participation.

 

We look forward to seeing you on the water!
