Juniorsail is a special two day, one night residential development camp (sleep-over) for all junior sailors.

The aim is to have fun (and lots of it !!)

Benefits:

• encourage and integrate young sailors to meet, socialise and develop their sailing skills with peers away from the comfort zone of their own club and family surroundings
• to familiarise the young sailors with their boat
• to understand their own competency encouraging greater independence and self sufficiency leading to increased confidence and an enhanced enjoyment of the sport.
• finally, to provide the challenge to exercise their enhanced skills.
• broaden their exposure to other classes of boats.

• provide and rig their own boat
• confidently leave the shore and sail around a small course (speed/style is not a criteria) under supervision but not direction.
• swim 50m
• participate without parental reliance and presence
• be confident to sleep away from home at night
