⛵ School Holidays - Sailing for Juniors!
Looking for something fun, active and a little different these school holidays? 🌊
Our Tackers Learn to Sail programs are back at WSC, giving kids aged 7–12 the chance to get out on the water, learn new skills and have a whole lot of fun along the way.
09:00 - 15:00, 22 Sep - 25 Sep. 4 days of learning!
🌊 Tackers 1 — Having Fun
For beginners & kids with little or no sailing experience
Over four days, kids will learn the basics of sailing through games, activities and plenty of time on the water. They’ll learn to steer, tack, gybe, sail around a course and build confidence in a small boat — all with plenty of support from our experienced
instructors.
At the end of the course, participants receive their Tackers 1 completion certificate and can progress to Tackers 2.
