Activity Overview

Weekend Sailing builds on the skills learned in the Introduction to Sailing course and gives Scouts regular, hands-on time on the water to grow their confidence and ability. Across the term, Scouts will practise rigging, launching, boat handling, and sailing techniques in light to moderate winds while developing teamwork, safety awareness, and independence. Sessions focus on fun, skill development, and becoming proficient sailors in small dinghies through games, challenges, and real on-water experience. 🌊⛵
