Sailing is a weather-dependent sport, and while we always aim to get the kids on the water, we cannot guarantee that every Sunday will have suitable conditions for sailing. Safety will always come first, and sessions may need to be changed or cancelled if the weather or water conditions are unsuitable.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer make-up classes or refunds for sessions that cannot go ahead due to weather conditions.

We appreciate your understanding and hope for plenty of great sailing days throughout the program!
