Summer Sailing
ARE YOU READY?
SUMMER SAILING 2024 WILL COMMENCE ON MONDAY 1ST JULY TILL FRIDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER!
A few of the many benefits of sailing are:
- responsibility and respect for the environment;
- water safety: how to avoid collisions
- character education: sailing requires perseverance and following rules;
- learn teamwork;
- self-esteem and confidence by piloting their own craft;
- spatial awareness;
- physical coordination;
- important habits: children learn how to keep their boat tidy, how to properly rig and unrig a boat, how to put things away in the right place.
