What you need to provide 

* Kids keen to learn the basics of sailing that can swim at least 50 meters unassisted
* Parents who are keen for their kids to take on sailing as a sport
* Warm clothes for sailing, including a hat
* Suitable footwear
* We also encourage parents to spend some time during the week assisting with the course, from as little as 2 hours to the whole week. This allows the club’s volunteers to focus on teaching and adds another layer of safety.
