Kids Sailing

You’re very welcome to the kid’s section of our Sailing School from Home Initiative. You’ll find two sets of resources we’ve produced to allow your child to keep engaged in sailing and stay learning while we’re all staying at home.

  • Logbook Theory Notes
  • Sailing School from Home Videos

All the resources are being produced by our team of dedicated instructors.

We’ve also selected a few other good sailing resources for learning and entertainment, each in the drop down menus below. New resources will be added every few days, so if you’re not already on our mailing list, drop an email to sailing@inss.ie to be included.
