GET THE KIDS INVOLVED AT THE BOAT SHOW TOO

WITH FREE TACKERS SAILING IN ELIZABETH QUAY!

Kids will love getting out on and sailing a boat all on their own in Elizabeth Quay.

The popular “Tackers Sailing Program” will run all weekend at the Club Marine Perth International Boat Show. “Tackers Sailing” is an introductory, fun, games-based sailing program designed for kids aged 7 to 12, delivered at recognised Tackers Clubs. Kids don’t need to have any sailing experience and they don’t have to be a member of a club to participate.

All the equipment, including the boats, is provided. All they need to do is register on the day, grab a life-jacket, take some instruction and then they’re off! It’s completely safe, with a special course allocated for the Tackers boats and managed by a team of qualified instructors. Most importantly, kids will feel the thrill of sailing all by themselves on the beautiful Swan River!
For more information on the Tackers Sailing Program, visit www.discoversailing.org.au times and map with the location of the Sailing Activity is available on the boat show website.
The Tackers sailing program will be run all weekend at the boat show.
