To ensure you child is safe and comfortable on the course, we recommend you ensure that they have the advised clothing. This includes, wetsuit, wetsuit boots/trainers (they will get wet!), waterproof jacket and a buoyancy aid. SLYC does have a small selection of equipment that you may borrow when on the course. If you need any advise or wish to ask any questions with regards equipment, then please don’t hesitate to contact us, contact details are at the bottom of the page.

​

Please note, children’s ability will be assessed by the Senior Instructor during the course, progression to the next stage of the programme will be given once they are happy with the competence and ability of the sailor. Due to this, it is important to recognise that this means it can take more than one week before progressing.
