About Our Club

Founded in 1967, WWYSA is passionate about introducing children and teenagers to the world of sailing, offering a range of training and competitive opportunities. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps on the water or an experienced sailor looking to improve your technique, WWYSA is here to help you reach your full potential.

Our team of qualified instructors and volunteers are committed to safety, skill development, and fun. Through structured lessons, group sailing events, and competitions, we aim to nurture not just technical ability but also teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship—skills that will serve our sailors both on and off the water.

At WWYSA, we believe in making sailing accessible to all, regardless of experience or background. Our programs cater to different age groups and skill levels, ensuring every sailor has the opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive and friendly environment.
