We get excellent feedback from sailors on these holiday programmes, and spaces often fill up fast. A holiday programme is a great way to accelerate team sailing skills ahead of Regionals and Nationals. Most importantly, holiday programmes are fun, social and a great way to get our youth out on the water.
***CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS*** Due to the limited number of spaces in each holiday programme, we are unable to offer refunds if a sailor changes their mind. Refunds will be considered on a case by case basis if there is illness or other serious circumstances that mean a registered sailor is no longer able to participate. In the case of needing to cancel, the best approach is to find a replacement sailor to take their place.
