The Junior Section sails Optimists, the world's largest fleet, and has grown very strongly in the last decade, thanks mainly due to the efforts of Lalin Jinasingha, and all those supportive parents. Some Juniors have now progressed to Senior level, giving those Stalwarts a very good run for their money! Lalin has represented Sri Lanka at World Class level, winning a Bronze at the Asian Games, so the children are in very competent hands. Lalin is a stickler for safety and operates a 3 level system:

a - Beginner. For those who want to learn which way to go, what the different bits are called and want to have fun learning to sail.

b - Intermediate. For those who want to progress or want to sail or race from time to time.

c - Serious Racers. This is for those who have progressed to a good level and are developed into teams to represent the Club or Country, where they may have international racing opportunities.

Instruction takes place on Saturdays with some racing on a Sunday, which coincides with the seniors.
