• Whilst there is no minimum age, it really depends on how coordinated, strong and confident the child is. Needless to say, they should be able to swim. We tend to find because of the speed and power of catamarans, children tend to start crewing on average between about 11 and 13 years of age.

However from 2010-2011 season, KCC is establishing a junior sailing division in the very safe and fun monohull Open BIC boat. This class targets children under 16 years of age, but is particularly focussed on those between about 7 and 12 years of age.
