Youth Section
Young sailors, windsurfers and anglers are welcome to join
in with all Club activities and there are special youth events as well.
 All you will
need is a water proof top and leggings, tracksuit or shorts, sweater, towel and
trainers which you don't mind getting wet. We can provide you with a buoyancy
aid and a fun day on the water.
The youths are full of enthusiasm, welcoming and growing in
number all the time. This is what they say about their activities.
We sail on Wednesday and Friday evenings as well as Saturday
with racing on Sunday. Pagham Yacht Club offers a wide range of water sport
activities with the focus on sailing. All these opportunities are on offer to
all members and it’s great to see lots of people on the water.
 On Wednesdays
and Fridays we regularly have over 12 boats on the water, we also cater for a
wide range of abilities from novice to more experienced. If you don’t own a boat
of your own the club has 12 toppers and 3 lasers that are available to be used
by the Youth Section and all members.
We cover a wide range of skills with the Youth Section,
which include a balance between the RYA syllabus, seamanship skills and having
lots of fun!!! In the summer we spend as much time having fun on the water as
possible. Then on the winter nights when we are unable to get on the water, we
learn the theory behind sailing and other seamanship skills that are applicable
to sailing, powerboating and yachting on the sea. All while having as much fun
as possible!!!
 We
don’t just sail at Pagham either; we have been invited to sail at other sailing
clubs along the south coast e.g. Arun, Bognor and Felpham. We also go on visits
to local and occasionally not so local attractions, for example: Portsmouth
Dockyards, Chessington World Of Adventures and Selsey Lifeboat Station. With
that in mind we also sail to other places like Bognor, Felpham and Selsey.
Pagham Yacht Club has a friendly atmosphere that is
essential to having fun and learning from each other. When you have learnt the
basics of sailing there are plenty of people with boats of their own that often
require crews. Many of them are only too happy to take younger members out and
teach them a little more about how to sail and race effectively.
Sailing
There are qualified RYA Sailing Instructors to get you
started and help you improve.
We have regular racing and cruising to a variety of
destinations including Bognor Regis Yacht Club and Selsey Bill, all with rescue
boat cover.
