SUMMARY:Sailing Social for supported young people
DESCRIPTION:This event is for supported young people aged 10 upwards. \nFrensham Sailability say: \n“Our sailors frequently comment that\, when sailing\, they are freed from their limitations and can compete on equal terms with any able-bodied sailor. We help you do this by providing a range of specially designed boats and the necessary support facilities. With the help of our experienced volunteers\, you can learn to sail\, or enjoy sailing again\, and develop your skills as far as you wish – to international competition level if you want!” \nNo previous experience of sailing is necessary\, but the use of hands is required. \nNew sailors can go out with an experienced ‘buddy’ who will explain what sailing involves. However\, our mission is to encourage independent sailing as much as possible. Frensham Pond provides a uniquely safe environment for this. \nThis is an opportunity for your children to experience sailing and the freedom of being in control of their boat. They will have the opportunity to go out on a 1-1 smaller boat with an experienced volunteer and in a bigger group boat if their mobility allows.” \nAll safety equipment and wet weather gear is provided\, along with access to the clubhouse where parents and carers are welcome to stay for the duration or can spectate from dry land. Please know that this event requires parents and caregivers to remain on site at all times\, and they are responsible for the care of the young people at all times \nPlease bring along a packed lunch and any medical equipment (we will provide cake and snacks)\, a change of clothes and a towel (good old British weather may mean we sail in the rain). \nThis opportunity is suitable for young people aged 10 and over who would enjoy socialising with others.
