‘Tackers’ is the Australian Sailing program for beginners aged 7-12 years.

We own a fleet of sturdy plastic dinghies called Optimists which are ideal for teaching youngsters to sail – easy to rig, light to launch and lots of fun. Kids can sit in a pair or go solo. Our instructors show them manoeuvres on land first, then tow them by RIB in groups of 6 to a quiet patch of water for simple exercises.

There are three levels:

  1. Tackers 1 – Having fun!
  2. Tackers 2 – Tips & Tricks!
  3. Tackers 3 – Sailing fast!

Sunday Tackers

Runs on Sunday mornings throughout the year. Sailors can join at any time and progress through the course at their own pace. There is no set end date, although each level takes on average 14 sessions.

Price per session: $33 – Members, $36.50 – Non-members

Payment is via a monthly direct debit. See the Tackers Client Service Agreement for more details.
