Last week, senior instructor Simon (pictured above demonstrating a land drill for tacking), ably assisted by CSC instructors Janice and Valeria, ran the club’s first RYA Stage 1 youth sailing course.

The course took eleven 8-13 year olds from complete novices, many of whom had never sailed alone before, to being able to safely and independently sail our club Picos around South Norwood Lake.

A great success and great fun had by all!
