Instructor Incubator Programme — Our Flagship Initiative
Our flagship initiative, the Instructor Incubator Programme, provides young people with the skills, experience, and mentorship they need to become qualified sailing instructors.
It’s about more than sailing — it’s about confidence, leadership, and creating opportunities for life.
Whether you’re beginning your journey or ready to step up to instructing, this programme helps you chart your course forward.
