This school will be operated by RSAYS and supported by volunteer staff of RSAYS Sea Cadets.
The program is a unique opportunity for young people aged 12 – 17 years.
The Sailing School will offer:
Pacer Dinghies – Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th
Dinghies are small sailing boats and a great way to get into sailing. Sailing a dinghy can be fun and exhilarating and this program has been developed to provide a safe introduction to dinghy sailing. Dinghies are ideal for juniors and youth to learn the basics of sailing and racing.
Keelboat J24 Yachts – Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th
The J24 is undeniably the most popular racing keelboat to make waves around the world. This appealing keelboat started with one man’s desire for a sailboat to accommodate his family and to be a competitive racer. Many years later and the J24 has become a legend. A suitable sailboat for family togetherness, the J24 has also been the launch pad for the careers of numerous America’s Cup professionals.
