Book a course
ICS no longer operates from Papercourt Sailing club in Ripley. After more than 40 years collaborating with Papercourt and other inland clubs, we have decided to take the organisation in a new direction. We are currently in the process of developing a new site in the Isle of Wight with excellent access to the solent and in particular a beautiful sailing area called Woodside Bay - between Cowes and Ryde. More information will be available as we get closer to completion but we are hoping to be able to run our first course at the beginning of the summer holidays in 2022. The application process is not yet active for this course. For more info please email the principal, Jae Willis.

Bursaries Available
For those who would love to send a skipper on one of our courses but just can’t afford it, there are a limited number of bursaries available each year that can reduce the cost of each place by as much as 25%. Simply let the principal, Jae Willis, know in an email (icscourses@yahoo.co.uk) that you would like to be considered for a bursary and he will send you the relevant form.
Cancellations / Refunds
Cancellation policy for the new residential courses is TBC
Hire Boats
If your child is eligible to attend but needs to hire a boat, we will do our best to find you one through our list of contacts. It would be a private agreement between you and the owner of the boat, so once putting you in touch we leave the rest to you. However, we strongly recommend that every skipper attending an ICS residential has their own boat!
