Wednesday evening Nippers (6-10 year olds) – Registrations now open!

The Junior Committee is delighted to announce that we will be once again be running the very popular Nippers course in May and June 2022. 

 

The Nippers course is based on the ISA’s Cara na Mara programme. Our lead instructor is SI Cillian Madigan who has instructed the Cara na Mara curriculum in previous years. 

 

It is a programme designed for young children aged 6-10 who have not yet had any, or very little, experience sailing. The programme is focused on building confidence on the water and teaching the basics of water safety. The emphasis is on fun! 

 

The NYC will run 6 sessions on Wednesdays (Dates 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th May, 1st and 8th June) 5.30-8pm (on water by 6pm).
The cost per child is €130 which includes the Cara na Mara work book (€10).

We will have one additional date (15 June) in hand in case of bad weather.
