YOUTH SAILING

The course extends skills learned in Tackers 2, and covers both intensive student training by Senior Instructors and further training for the instructors themselves.

OUTCOMES By the end of the courses, sailors will be able to demonstrate : 

• Advanced boat handling skills, including a practical application of the Five Essentials
• Working understanding of sailing terms and theory
• Competitive strategies at the start line and during the race

We are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of two brand new RS Quests to add to our fleet – big enough
to take three crew plus skipper !

Program Focus:

Following the structure and instruction in learn-to-sail programs. Green Fleet is an introduction to coaching and learning to train.

Green Fleet promotes practicing the fundamental skills of sailing, introduces some foundation race skills through training activities in an environment that is enjoyable, without a competition focus.

During the Program sailors are encouraged to take part in freesail activity, and to trial a variety of boats, boards, and other club related activity through age appropriate design.
