Dinghy Sailing Courses for Youth

 All Fees include transportation and entry to Brownsea Island from Poole

When and how can youngsters start to learn to sail? At Harbour Challenge you can start when you are ready for the adventure. We use the tried and tested RYA method of learning for teaching our youngsters to sail. This means that everything is broken down into "bite sized chunks" and for the youth section, that involves the teaching being divided up into 4 easy, fun filled stages that the kids just love.

When any stages are completed the appropriate certificate will be issued, logbooks can be purchased at any time through your instructor or the office, all completed parts can be signed off by your instructor. Courses are fully supervised by a senior instructor and the centre manager In the event of bad weather, alternative activities will be provided on all courses.

You will be meet at Poole Quay by one of our centre staff and escorted to our centre on Brownsea.
