Our aim is to utilize Plymouth's largest natural asset for young people, Plymouth Sound.

We are a young peoples water sports club providing competency, safety, supervision, social activities & for those who wish to take the sport further, development into racing & seamanship skills. Staffing is provided through assistance from volunteer adults & full time staff, but in time should be substantially managed by the membership themselves.

The focus of activity is towards junior & youth from the Sport England Priority Initiative Wards of inner city Plymouth.

Sailing is the art of controlling a boat without an engine and nothing but the wind for power. The wind is caught in large (usually fabric) foils called sails thus driving the boat forward. By changing the rigging, rudder, and sometimes the keel (or centre board) a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails. This is done in order to set both the direction and speed of a boat.

The skills required to master the art of sailing include experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as a thorough knowledge of sailboats themselves.

South African Sailing (SAS) has become the third International Sailing Federation Member National Authority to receive ISAF Recognized Training status for their National Training Programme (NTP).

ISAF Training and Development Manager Dan Jaspers and ISAF Inspector Richard Percy visited four selected national training programme centres in Cape Town, Pretoria, Durban and Mossel Bay during their six day inspection, as well as a number of other centres along the route of their 4,000 km road trip.

After three regattas in the ISAF Sailing World Cup series the world's best sailors are leading the way in the Overall Standings.
