2012 Holiday Courses [Open to local and visiting children]
Our holiday courses have proven to be a great way for visiting and local children to get to know each other through a challenging and rewarding experience. Our team of RYA instructors, safety boat crews and volunteers will ensure that the every session is carefully managed, educational and most importantly fun!

Children must be aged between a confident 8 years and 14 years old. No previous sailing experience is needed, sailors are grouped according to age and ability.
All Sailors are fitted with HRCST Buoyancy Aids, but they can wear their own if preferred. Wetsuits are ideal though not absolutely essential. Sailors must have shoes that can get wet. Something to eat and drink on the homeward journey is all part of the fun. A set of dry clothes at the pick up point is a good idea as we can guarantee that the children will get wet!
We collect the children by boat from either Helford River Sailing Club pontoons (Golden Gear steps when the tide is too low), or Helford Passage beach (outside The Ferryboat Inn). If for any reason your child cannot attend please notify us on 01326 231580 by 0830.
We aim never to cancel a session, but in the event of bad weather we may have to. Please call our information line on 01326 340663 if the forecast or conditions are questionable.
