Learn to Sail in Christchurch, Dorset with Shoresports

Discover why young people love sailing

    Learning to sail is fun and exciting and for the youth these elements are even more important. At Shoresports we are dedicated to providing high quality, fun tuition for young people in all stages of their sailing journey.

Saturday Sailing Club

  • Our Youth Saturday Sailing Club is a great way for young people to develop their sailing skills. This group (for those aged 8-16) has a pre-requisite of 10 hours tuition or our Shoresports Set to Sail Certificate (for more information on certificates see below).

    Group Taster

  • Going through basic turns, called tacking, stopping and starting using the power of the sails are just a few of the skills the you will be introduced to in the first session and a group taster (of up to 6 sailors aged 8-16) is the ideal way to give this sport a go.

    • Private Lessons

  • These sessions are great for developing specific skills as the instructor is able to work closely with the young person to achieve their sailing goals. These sessions are also great for younger children who are not old enough to join group sessions.

    • Summer Sailing Kids Clubs

  • During the School Holidays we run a range of kids clubs which include some that are sailing specific. To view our Sailing Fun kids club, aimed at beginners, please use the link below:

    For intermediate sailors please look at our intermediate-pro sailing club:

    Both of these kids club courses are a great way to start learning / develop sailing skills in a fun group setting.

    • HSC Seals

  • Shoresports are partnered with Highcliff Sailing Club and have run their youth sailing program for the last 3 years. This is an excellent way to get young people into sailing – please visit https://www.highcliffesailing.co.uk/hscseals to learn more
