Teenage Cruiser Sailing

Fun afloat on our Teenage Cruiser Courses!

Come sailing with us on the yacht "Holy Grounder" - Beneteau

Sailcork specialises in training teenagers (13-17 years) on Yachts to become Competent Crew members.   We schedule courses during school term, school breaks and holidays.  It is ideal for giving bored teenagers an activity whereby they learn a new life-long skill. They become useful and interested in the family or friend’s boat and become an asset onboard. Who knows,  it may be the beginning of a new career ! What better way to learn the ropes, than from Eddie English who is teaching sailing to students ages 3 to 85  for the last 40 years.
