The Irish National Sailing and Powerboat School (INSS) is looking forward to the return of the Saturday Sailing programme for kids aged seven to 17.
After a successful summer implementing new measures in accordance with coronavirus restrictions, the programme will be structured to meet social distancing and group size requirements.
Friends will still be permitted to sail together — however, that pod will work together for the whole programme.
Single-handed sailing will be an important part of the programme, and small group sizes should enhance the learning opportunities. Children are also asked to come changed in wetsuits and head home in them.
Despite these adjustments, the INSS says it aims to keep the core aspects of the programme familiar, allowing for kids to have great fun afloat while learning and progressing one's sailing skills being the core elements — as the school’s video from earlier this summer shows.
