SSC Youth Club

SSC is excited to establish an SSC Youth Club during the lighter evenings of 2026. These sessions are all about building community: meeting new friends, finding potential sailing partners (crews or helms), and learning a little sailing theory along the way!

What to expect:

  • The vibe: Clubhouse open 7:00pm– 8:30pm with table tennis, table football, Jenga, and cards.
  • Refreshments: Soft drinks and treats available for purchase.
  • Activities: From 7:30pm – 8:15pm, planned activities like land drills, rigging practice, knot tying, and fun games (including the legendary end-of-year boat race!).
  • Summer specials: Fingers crossed – look out for BBQs and beach rounders!

Safety and supervision:

  • Ages 10 & Under: Must be always accompanied by a responsible adult on-site.
  • Ages 11–18: A responsible adult must register them upon arrival and collection (unless otherwise agreed).
  • The Team: Run by Justine Rattray, Pippa Brosnan and Sarah Soffe with support from Will Carroll and Jamie Wright.
  • Volunteers: We will need help and therefore will ask that every parent/carer volunteers for one evening per year to keep the club running smoothly (see WhatsApp Poll for signing up)!

Membership Benefits: To attend, children must be SSC members. You can join as a Family (so you can all sail) or the child can join as a Cadet (which requires one adult to join as an Associate Member). SSC Members enjoy:

  • Access to Youth Club Nights.
  • Saturday “Improver” sessions in the pool area.
  • Wednesday and Sunday Sea Racing.
  • Club boat rentals.
  • Discounted sauna sessions for adults!

Dates for 2026:

April 30 | May 14 | June 11 | June 25 | July 16 | July 30 | Aug 13 | Sept 10

(And hopefully more dates added subject to help and demand!)

How to Join:

  1. Register: Join SSC as a Family or Cadet/Associate here.
  2. Connect: Join the SSC Youth Club WhatsApp group (once you have joined SSC)
  3. Volunteer: Sign up to help on a Thursday social night
