The club has a strong family focus and we have over 130 Junior and Youth members from age 8 to 18. Activities are planned throughout the year and include Youth Training and Junior Days as well as a family weekend with a campover in the adjacent field. The club encourages all its younger members to progress through the RYA training scheme from Stage 1 to Stage 4 and on to Assistant Dinghy Instructor (from age 12) and Dinghy Instructor (from age 16).

These are held monthly from April to September. Lots of pictures in the galleries! For the younger members the focus is on fun and there is a coaching programme for those who want to race. The RYA does not support training for the under-8s but the club has two RS Tera that can be used by this age group under the supervision of parents or carers.

In recent years several members of the youth squad have attended National and Open events in the Topper, RS Feva, and Laser Radial classes.
