Sailing is a fantastic sport that gives young people the opportunity to learn a wide range of skills, and provides a great platform for applying STEM learning, which can lead to career opportunities they may not have considered. Sailing develops key life skills, builds confidence, fosters team work & cultivates resilience.
If your school meets the criteria you may be able to participate in the Rebels Sailing Programme; a national sailing initiative that offers free or subsidised sailing opportunities for young people age 11-14 years through their school. In 2019 there are 12 Flagship centres with plans for more in 2020 and beyond.
Alternatively, the National Governing Body for Sailing, the RYA, has a school sailing programme delivered through its club network called OnBoard.
Take a look at the other sailing programmes delivered by the 1851 Trust across the UK.
