Welcome to the web site of
Avon Scout County Sailing Section
The bulk of the sailing activity
in the County is concentrated into the Avon Scout
County Sailing Section. Sailing may be carried out
elsewhere in the County but must be supervised by
properly authorised leaders. The Sailing Section
does run courses for adult leaders to enable them to
lead or assist in sailing activities.
The Avon Scouts Sailing Section
operates mainly from Baltic Wharf, Bristol Harbour,
and uses mainly Wayfarer, Pico and Topper sailing
dinghies. Recognised by the Royal Yachting
Association as a training establishment, it
organises both introductory sessions and training
courses covering a wide range of abilities and is
able to issue nationally recognised qualifications.
It is suggested that Scouts that have previously
attended an introductory Tuesday or Thursday evening
might find it more satisfying and instructive to
attend one of the courses that are provided.
