NEW BOOKING SYSTEM - UPDATE

We now have the ability to book you onto our system and send you a payment link. We are a little rushed off our feet and short of staff at the moment but we will start emptying our inbox in earnest from the 2nd May. We will then be collecting emergency info on the day. If you have emailed in please bear with us as we work through the virtual mountain of emails. Thank you.

Sailing provides a great opportunity to keep fit, make new friends and develop independence.  

• Helmets, buoyancy aids and wetsuits provided
• Car parking free 15min drop off - register at the parking machine

We can't always guarantee that the programme won't change, sometimes at very short notice, due to matters outside of our control. We will be running the below activities for ages 8+.
