"You might titter at being told to “swab
the poop deck”, but sailing is a great activity
for children to do solo, or with all the family. If
you’ve never set foot on a boat before, you
can get a feel for it through dinghy sailing, which
will teach you the basics.
While many sailing clubs require membership,
the following all offer an opportunity to try it out
first – some offer taster days, others four
to five-day courses.
And don’t worry about splashing out on
the safety equipment such as lifejackets, all these
venues either provide it along with the lesson or
hire it out for a nominal fee.
Some places featured allow toddlers to get a
taste of the sea from parents’ laps, but this
sport is best suited to those aged 8 and older.
ABERSOCH, NORTH WALES
This family-run sailing school offers a 30-minute
dinghy “Joy Rides” for the wee ones (4
and up) and dinghy lessons paced for older children,
too. Parents can sign up for hour-long piloting classes
that cover topics such as launching boats, coming
ashore and the unfortunately necessary capsize procedure.
