Our Youth Pathway Channels
The Pathway was launched in 2021 and aims to pull together all aspects of Youth sailing in the club to ensure that youth members of all abilities have the opportunity to further their skills and enhance their enjoyment of sailing and boating, ultimately gaining a varied set of skills and friendships for life.
We welcome non members through our Try Sailing programme which gives families time to decide if they enjoy the sport before committing to membership. We also have a fleet of club boats for use and hire to allow people try before committing.
We recommend anyone with any hesitancy or uncertainty should contact our Rear Admiral Dinghies Dominic Daly at dinghies@royalcork.com
