Sailing
An arrangement has been made with the yacht club, the picturesque Forest Sailing Club, at nearby Da Gama Dam which allows Uplands College to make use of its boats and facilities.

A training programme is now run once a week (usually on Wednesday afternoons) in terms 1 and 4 for any pupils at the College with an interest in sailing to learn how to sail. The conditions are extremely safe for both boating and swimming and ideal for beginners.

Once pupils have reached a reasonable level of competence, they are encouraged to join in the fortnightly race days held on Sundays.

The boats available are Optimists, Lasers, a Sprog and a Finn, training pupils to rig, handle a variety of boats, crew and helm.
