Port Denison Sailing Club is pleased to present Learn to Sail this term for children aged 8 - 12. 
No prior experience of sailing is required as this course is aimed at participants new to the sport of sailing.  
The curriculum will be presented in a fun and interactive way with activities and drills aimed at this age group.
Water confidence is essential to join Learn to Sail. 
Students will sail in the Club's "Qube" learner boats, with lifejackets supplied.
