At the yacht club, swimmers are provided with goggles if you don’t own a pair as well as kick boards when needed. Sailors are provided with a life jacket and use of all necessary boat equipment not limited to hulls, main sheath, sails, dagger boards etc.
Parents are welcomed to watch both the swim or sail lessons and can accompany their child in case of children younger than 5 years in swimming. Since we offer lessons for both children and adults we encourage parents to join the adults swim or sail program.
Children at the St. Kitts Yachts Club have the opportunity to participate in the National Dinghy Championship which is the qualifier for ST. Kitts Nevis Sailing Association’s elite National selection team. Throughout the year, they have the opportunity to participate in the Booby Island Regatta as well. More Regattas as being organized for 2024.
The instructor to child ratio is ideally 1 instructor for every 5 children for both swimming and sailing for beginners. For advanced sailors, the ratio is 1 instructor for every 7 sailor.
The St. Kitts Yacht Club prides themselves with safety first. At sign up, parents’ information along with an emergency contact. All parents read the safety instructions and are notified of how emergencies are dealt with. Children will be treated on site if injuries are minor or would be transported to the nearest hospital and parents will be informed of such intention. Surgeries or medical authorization is to be dealt with by parents unless they are unable to be contacted and it’s a life or death situation. We haven't had any major emergencies in all of the years that we have offered lessons.
Elite sailors at the SKYC have the opportunity to compete regionally at competitions such as the St. Maarten Optimist Dinghy Championship, Caribbean Dinghy Championship or any other Regattas the club decides to attend based on available finances. The swim program is a swim to sail program so it’s more of an entry level swimming to build water confidence for potential interested sailors.
