Sailing Adventure Week - RYA Stage 1 & 2

Calshot's premier sailing adventure week - an exciting week for those who want to specialise in the ever-popular sport of sailing. Courses are based on the RYA young sailors scheme and will give children the opportunity to develop their skills under the guidance of our experienced and qualified instructors.

Our dedicated team of instructors will look after your child, ensuring they have the best week full of fun and adventure. Activities will commence on Monday morning and finish on Friday afternoon. Full pastoral support is given while the children are in our care.

Instruction takes place in small teaching groups on sheltered water with safety boats in attendance. This course is based on the RYA young sailors scheme and certificates are given free of charge.

In addition, there is also the equivalent of one shore-based day - with the opportunity to participate in land-based activities such as climbing, skiing and archery. Activities included are subject to change due to weather conditions.
