About CST Experiences
...with our watersports activities, lakeside activities and range of events here in West cornwall. We welcome everyone from 6 to 106 on the water, no matter if you’re a beginner or a pro, physically restricted or visually impaired, unsure or over-excited – everyone deserves to experience the freedom and fun of being out on the water. Brought to you by charity Children’s Sailing Trust (CST), all adult and youth sailing courses and powerboating operate from our Helford River location, supported by our new purpose-built site at Trevassack Lake, where the majority of our accessible watersports activities and land-based events take place, just ten minutes from Helston on the Lizard peninsula.
