Junior Sailing
Junior Sailing with rcyc
RCYC training Junior Sailing is focused on building confidence and having fun with the beautiful background of Falmouth and Royal Cornwall Yacht Club. As a team we are focused on children learning to sail in an enjoyable environment and building on their learning to progress into well rounded sailors.
Our knowledgeable and enthusiastic team of instructors run dinghy training sessions for youngsters to grow their skills and confidence on the water. We’ve had up to twenty children enjoying themselves on RS Zests, RS Feva, Pico and Hartley 10 dinghies. It’s been enormous fun for the children, the instructors and the spectators ashore. We’ve had lots of laughs and huge smiles! Junior Sailing at the RCYC is all about enjoyment and gaining confidence on and in the water.
Its back again for this year
Junior Sailing is back again for the 2026 season! This year we will be running RYA training courses, Kids Club and Splash Squad as you know and love it.

We are an OnBoard Affiliated Club
OnBoard is a scheme run by the RYA and is a grassroots junior sailing programme which offers young people the opportunity to explore the water and have a go at sailing through their local clubs and centres.
The programme is designed to be accessible to everyone from beginners to advanced sailors and has been developed to support the educational outcomes and personal development character attributes that have been identified in the national curriculum.
With plenty of fresh air, adventure, and fun, OnBoard helps young people stay active, build confidence and develop new skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. The scheme lines up perfectly with our Splash Squad programme and we cannot wait to get everyone OnBoard this summer!
