Junior Sailing

Welcome to Balmoral Sailing Club Junior Sailing !

We help kids fall in love with sailing and racing, and inspire the next generation of sailors. We make sailing exciting, inclusive and rewarding for every child, creating a nurturing home for single-handed junior sailing where girls and boys alike can belong, thrive and progress.

At Balmoral Sailing Club we sail with:

Bravery: We have a go, try new things, challenge ourselves, and don’t give up. If we capsize or make mistakes, we get back up and keep going.
Seamanship: We sail safely and care for ourselves, each other, our boats and the environment, both on and off the water.
Commitment: We show up, do our best. We take initiative and lead by example.

We expect sailors, coaches and parents to model these values both on and off the water.
