Youth - Children & Teenagers Sailing in Ireland

Loads of Boats
There are loads of different boats to suit all ages and sailing skills - from little Optibats for the young beginners to catamarans for fun sailing and the high performance Slider for advanced sailing skills. Plus, a fleet of new RS Fevas, Toppers, Picos, New 3.6's and a whole bunch of kayaks & canoes for end of day messing around.  See our Equipment page for the list and piccies. 

Certificates
The aim of your week sailing with us is to learn to enjoy sailing and work towards achieving an ISA or RYA certificate.  Take a look at the Sailing Levels for details on the different ISA Certificatied levels.  We are Irish Sailing Association (ISA) and Royal Yachting Association (RYA) approved and you can choose which affiliated certificate you would like aim for.

Looking after you
We teach at a ratio of 6 students to 1 ISA qualified Instructor, so there is plenty of attention from your instructor while on, & off, the water.  Young students are taught at a steady pace and the emphasis is on fun and gaining water and boat confidence.  Then as the student matures we push a little harder to achieve more skills.  With the small ratios, it is possible to give each students help and personal care throughout the course.

Your group
Children a grouped based on age and ability.  If you have no experience it is based on age as below, if you are coming to improve your skills you will put in a group based on sailing ability.  Children can change fleet as the week progresses if we think they will benefit from being with a different group. Find out about the different groups & fleets.
