We are now taking bookings for the 2026 season. Please make any enquiries through our Contact Us page.  

Adults

We are always looking for new instructors to join our team and at the moment we are very keen to hear from any adults who can already sail to help us meet our growing demand for sessions. Ideally you would be new to scouting and not already a leader in another group, so that you are not overstretched, but all are welcome. We like our leaders to commit to 4 or 5 evening sessions between May and July. For those with no previous sailing experience we will teach you all you need to know over a season or two. This is a great way to learn sailing and powerboating and help scouts get on the water at the same time.
