Tackers (age 7-12) – spend time on the water to gain confidence and learn sailing skills through fun games and activities at our club!

Tackers is an Australian Sailing accredited course introducing young kids to sailing small boats through activities and games on the water. Our qualified instructors will work with each participant taking into consideration their skill level and needs, and introduce them to sailing. The program covers skills and knowledge such as safety on the water, understanding the wind, boating terminology, how sailboats work, launching, steering, sailing a short course, and so much more! Tackers is based around having fun and encouraging kids to learn new things, all while spending time with friends.

For children 12 – 17 years of age, we operate a ‘Junior’ program giving access to the kids, who might be too old or too tall for our Optimists, the opportunity to have fun and become good sailors. We use our Pacers and Quest to initiate kids to tack, gybe and also use a spinnaker. Faster and very safe these boats can also fit more than one on board: siblings and friends can enjoy sharing a sailing course together.
