Cara na Mara is a child focused approach to introducing sailing to children, allowing children to discover, explore and practice the skills and knowledge they will need as sailors while under the leadership and supervision of Irish Sailing qualified instructors and within an Irish Sailing recognised training centre. There is a strong emphasis on allowing the sailors to appreciate and enjoy the water and outdoor environment safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sailors spend the first part of the day doing experiments, like making a barometer, measuring the depth of the harbour, art, wildlife identification, playing games, or learning the parts of the boat. Visiting the seal beach in the club launch is always enjoyed by the young sailors. After a lunch break, we will bring the sailor out on a dinghy, or on later courses, they will sail around the harbour. We will then deliver your child back to you to dry and supervise them getting dressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
