In August

Maybe Cornwall or north Wales?

I'd like a thing like mark warner or sunsail but in the UK...hopefully with childcare

Does this exist?

I don't think you'll find kids clubs here. Nothing to stop you enrolling them on a weeks sailing course though :o

Katymac · 03/04/2006 21:34

Is that fair? Hmmm I think I like it tho'

Depends whether they like sailing I guess. I used to teach dinghy sailing, and some poor children had been enrolled for three weeks (!) and loathed every minute of being on the water. Others adored it and were totally hooked by the end of day 1.
I was 'actively encouraged' (read pushed!) to take up sailing when I was thirteen, and have been hooked ever since :)

She did her first RYA in Egypt at Christmas, and has her own Mirror Dinghy - so she has been "encouraged"
