Welcome To The Youth Island Activities Centre
Island Youth Water Activities Centre (IOW) Ltd. is a voluntary organisation grant aided by the Isle of Wight Youth & Community Service. We are a Charity run for the benefit of all young people on the Isle of Wight. Our prime aim being the provision of a variety of water based experiences, which combine challenge, safety and enjoyment. Our secondary aim is to provide training to national standards for young people and potential instructors (of any age). The Centre is committed to providing equal opportunities. We have the experience and facilities to cater for many special requirements. Although, parts of the Centre are not fully accessible to all currently, our plans to remedy this are well advanced.

We have spent some time and money on the yacht fitout this season. New sails from UK Halsey should freshen up the performance and new Garmin instrumentation will make it easier to navigate. There are plenty of opportunities to get afloat aboard "Paddiywack" this season try cruising on a 2-day or 5-day course or join the race crew for one of the many events that Paddiywack is entered into. The next opportunity to get aboard is the cross-channel race to Le Havre in France, you need to be 14 or older to join this crew. Training day is Sunday June 21st and the race itself gets underway on Friday 26th June at 18.30. The trip across should take between 15 and 20 hours enjoy the weekend in France and return on Sunday 28th June. Call or email for more information.
