45 children from local schools learn to sail at Queen Mary Sailing Club through RYA OnBoard sailing and windsurfing programme.
Working with clubs, schools and youth groups across the UK, OB makes getting into sailing and windsurfing easy whatever ability and situation. Even if you live miles from the sea, you can experience the best of sailing on lakes, estuaries and rivers in your area! OB gets youngwters out on the water, teaches them new skills and provides great fun too!
Over a ten year period the programme aims to introduce a minimum of 500,000 children to sailing in the UK, converting over 10% of them into regular participants. So far, it's nicely on track.
