Dolphins
Welcome to the Water for our Dolphins program – an exciting, family-led initiative supporting first-time experiences for our sailors every Friday evening!
This program is designed for children ages 6 and up. Whether your sailor has completed an RYA Course or you’re looking to try something new within the community there are many different options for you to choose from.
These include:
Setting sail in a Bahia – a training dinghy that allows room for 2 or more children to experience the water with friends or family. No sailing experience is required from the participants as this will be helmed (sailed) by an active sailor or instructor. This training dinghy is certainly a social one that offers fun, friendship, and familiarity to the water.
Setting sail in a Qube – a small dinghy suitable for little ones who have their RYA Stage 2 certificate, this nifty little number is for one person, safe and secure, unlikely to capsize and allows sailors to gain more confidence on their own on the water with the support of rescue cover and parents on site.
Setting sail in a Pico – a slightly bigger training dinghy than the Qube, which is suitable for children who have their RYA Stage 3 certificate, two sailors who can work together as a dynamic duo on the water, breezing through the waves and racing the wind.
What’s the best part you ask? Dolphins is all about fun, learning, and building confidence! From first-time sailors to those at Stage 3, every child has the chance to improve their skills, have a blast on the water, and feel empowered – all while being safely supervised.
As a family-led initiative, we are proud to create a warm, welcoming environment where kids and their families can share the joy of sailing together. It’s not just about the sport – it’s about building memories, friendships, and confidence.
