What happens after I have done a junior learn to sail course?
At the end of the course you will be able to sail. But it will only become really familiar and fun after a bit more time on the water. So you move on to Saturday morning coaching and racing.

Is it fun?
Yes ... it sure is! And a great place to make new friends.
