Giving young people a chance to grow through competitive sailing

Shadowfax Racing, established in 2014, is a new and unique sailing charity giving young people, who wouldn’t otherwise get the chance, the opportunity to become part of a competitive race team.  .
 
Sailing is a dynamic team sport, providing a challenging and exciting learning environment. Trainees will learn not only how to sail and race, but will also develop the social and communication skills needed to be part of a strong team.  It enables them to demonstrate that they have commitment, drive and resilience and gives them confidence to try new things, meet new people and hopefully learn a love of sailing. We aim for the sailing programme to be a catalyst for change in people’s lives and to be a stepping-stone towards a better future.   Read more in our About Us section. 

 2020 Sailing Programme

In line with the latest Government rules, we have postponed our Summer sailing programme.  We are however planning to be back on the water at the next opportunity so will update our website and Facebook pages and get in touch by email newsletter. 

We are always looking for volunteers so if you can help crew and having some sailing experience, do get in touch! 

​Can you help us teach/crew?  Email us! 

Trainees in action on race day!

On the final day of each Shadowfax Racing programme, the trainees enter into a public race against other boats of the same kind as well as smaller and larger yachts.  Watch the video and see the excitement of Race Day!
