Tackers Kids Learn to Sail at WSC
About our kids learn to sail
Tackers is a fun introductory, games-based sailing program designed for kids aged 7-11 yrs. Kids don't need to have any sailing experience or club membership to participate. All the equipment, including the boats, is provided. Our instructors are qualified by Australian Sailing, our governing sporting body.
The Tackers program is delivered in a specially designed Tackers training boat which is super safe for kids. The boats allow two kids to sail together and as they gain confidence and move up from Tackers 1 to Tackers 2 they are able to sail the boat alone. The boats have built-in buoyancy which means they provide extra stability.
Some ability to swim is preferable as during Tackers 1 the instructors supervise the group in a 25m swim with their lifejackets on, however they will be wearing lifejackets at all times.
