Ideal for young sailors aged 8-15, this course will help them enhance their skills and feel more comfortable sailing in moderate conditions. By the end of the course, participants will be able to launch, recover, and sail a dinghy in all directions. Key Details Age: 8-15 years Duration: 2 days (09:30-16:00 each day) Location: Aztec Adventure Upton Warren, Worcestershire Group size: Maximum 6 children Supervisor ratio: 1:6 Maximum weight: 120kg (18 stone) Swimming ability: Water confident Key Skills Rigging a dinghy correctly Understanding sailing theory and terminology Launching and recovering a dinghy Sailing in all directions (all points of sail) Performing capsize recovery techniques What to Expect This course is designed to help young sailors build on their existing skills and gain more confidence on the water. Over the course of two days, they'll improve their ability to rig a boat, understand sailing theory, and practise launching and recovery. The course will cover techniques for sailing in moderate conditions, and the goal is for participants to demonstrate their ability to sail a dinghy on all points of sail or around a triangle. With professional instruction from qualified, DBS-checked instructors, your child will learn how to confidently sail a dinghy, recover from a capsize, and handle different sailing situations. Parents can watch from the Boat Shack Cafe or terrace while their child takes part in the course, or you can drop off and pick up in the afternoon.

The location is easily accessible and offers a great setting for water-based activities.

A packed lunch and a refillable water bottle are also required as lunch is not provided. ### Can parents watch the course? Yes, parents and spectators are welcome to watch their child’s session from the Boat Shack Cafe or the terrace. However, for safety and comfort, we ask that spectator numbers be kept to a minimum. ### How are the groups organised? Group sizes are kept small, with a maximum of 6 participants per instructor and no more than 6 people in total. This setup allows for close guidance throughout the session, ensures plenty of hands-on time in the craft, and makes it easier to practise manoeuvres safely under supervision. ### What is the required swimming ability for this course? Participants should be water confident but do not need to be expert swimmers. As part of the course involves time on the water, children must feel comfortable in and around water. ### Is lunch provided during the course? No, lunch and drinks are not provided. Participants should bring a packed lunch and a refillable water bottle to keep hydrated throughout the day. ### What happens if it rains during my session? Rain does not affect your session; you will still be able to take part. Since you will get wet anyway, it can even be more fun in the rain! If the weather becomes unsafe, such as lightning or thunder, the session will pause until conditions improve. You’ll be given options to rebook or request a refund if a session is cancelled. Should Aztec Adventure Ltd, for reasons beyond their control (including high winds, lightning storms and icy conditions*), feel it is necessary to close the activity once your party have already commenced participation, you will be offered alternative activities, times or dates to return within one year and rescheduled free of charge. Alternatively, you may opt to receive a gift card for the full value of your booking, which can be used to rebook at a date and time that suits your group within 12 months. In such circumstances, you will not be entitled to a refund, in part or whole. *In all other weather conditions, we operate as normal and standard conditions apply. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screenshot-2025-02-13-110713-4.png - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
