Youth Section

Welcome to the Youth section of the Emsworth Slipper website.

Youth activities at the club are mainly based around 'Wednesday Night Sailing' and 'Sundays On The Tide'. To qualify as a youth you will need to be between secondary school age and 18 yrs.

Our aim is to teach sailing through fun, informative sessions on the Millpond and harbour. We have an extensive fleet of Toppers, Fevas and Lasers that allows for some exciting and close sailing through April to October. All sessions are lead by qualified RYA Senior Instructors and supported by RYA Dinghy Instructors.

We are very proud of our WNY sailors who continue to achieve outstanding success at Local, National and International levels.

Paul Mothersele

Youth Coordinator
