Junior Sailing at Swarkestone

Junior sailing is available to all members aged 5 to 18 but sailors aged 5 to 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
Annual membership is £13 payable after a couple of trial sessions, alternatively the whole family can join (ask for details).
The sessions run on selected Saturdays as below with a Junior Race (The Burley Trophy) at some point during the training day.
We have a very popular junior section and regularly have 15-20 sailors participating.
Juniors can start sailing on any junior Saturday, no previous experience is necessary.
The cost is £15 for the Saturday which includes boat hire and tuition from 9:30am to 4pm.
We are very proud of all of our sailors and the progress that they have made over the last season but especially so, of those who have represented the club at Opens, Derbyshire Youth and National Schools Sailing Association competitions.
