Tackers 1 – Learn to Sail program
TERM 4 COURSE – Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings, dates to be advised!
Tackers 1 – “Having Fun”
This program is designed to provide a safe and enjoyable introduction to dinghy sailing for primary school aged kids (7-12 years). Suitable to complete beginners.
Kids sail in pairs in small boats called OziOpti’s. They learn the basics of boat handling, and manoeuvring, practice safety drills and how to recover from a capsize. All exercises are incorporated into games so the kids are unaware they are in a lesson, they are just having fun. It’s a great way to meet new friends while having fun on the water.
