    Tom Partridge Hi Katy, 1st Mark in Wigan sell sailing gear http://www.1stmark.co.uk/. They sponsor various north west junior sailing events so they should have a good range of junior gear, but worth checking with them before you visit. There is also Preston marina which is a bit closer http://www.prestonmarina.co.uk/core_pages/shop.html. Both should be able to offer advice. Have you checked out all the hand-me-down gear at the club? Hope to see you and Jonah this eve. But hoping the wind drops off a bit!

    Learning to sail was a great experience

    The beginners course gives a grounding in the basics, like learning to drive again with many other factors to master.  Get it right and speed across the water
