2009 National Sailing Programme
This year our government funding is being reduced, significantly, so we are having to cut back on the number of available spaces in our summer sailing camps. July courses are nearly full, but we do have room in the August courses
We had two companies come to our rescue – Tokio Milennium and the TK Foundation. With their assistance we are now able to offer Needs-Based Bursaries

WaterWise Planning for Spring 2009
WaterWise is in the process of scheduling for the spring 2009 school year. In March the M1 students will start with the dry-land sessions, using the Opti Simulators on the school courts and fields. These sessions will have chalk talks about points of sail, parts of the boat as well as practicing new skills in boats on wheels! Guy Carpenter has recently offered their services to build five more Opti Simulators – thanks guys!
In June the M1 students will visit one of five locations to put their new skills and knowledge to practice:
Sandy’s Boat Club, Sea Cadets (St. George’s), Darrell’s Island, Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club and Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.
