Family Sailaways

Summer Family Sailaways are relaxed family adventures around the harbour.

These afternoons are all about getting out on the water together, building confidence, and having fun as a family. They are a non-competitive step on from Family Fun Week, with easy going sailing alongside familiar faces, followed by activities and a social to keep the fun going ashore.

Helping Make it Happen

Family Sailaways are run by club members for club members. To help keep everyone safe and make the sessions enjoyable, we rely on parents volunteering for key roles.

All duties will be agreed in advance and listed on DutyMan. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Rachel Evans via the WhatsApp group.

If you have your own RIB and would like to join the flotilla, we would love that too.

We want Family Sailaways to become something that brings families together, both on and off the water.
We hope you will join us 💜❤️💙💛💚🧡
