  • During this beginner (State Sailing Level 1) course, your child will learn about water safety, the basics of rigging, basic boat handling, and fundamental seamanship skills (weather, knots, terminology etc.).
  • While sailing, juniors will learn the basics of steering, trimming, and weight placement. 
  • The programs foster confidence in boats and water safety, while having a heap of fun with other kids!
