Optimists at Bewl Water
We are growing a group of young sailors from beginners to advanced racers.
Our philosophy is to give children from both sailing and non-sailing families the opportunity to develop a love of sailing within a friendship group that starts from beginners and evolves into a team that helps and supports each other at events on the national circuit. The team includes boys and girls from 8 to 15 ranging in standard from beginners to children in the UK National Squad. They are supported by qualified instructors and coaches competing at an International level and for those that don’t yet have their own boat we also have a limited supply of boats for hire.
