Teen Learn to Sail (12-17)
Tackers for teens, our introductory sailing course for 12-17 year-olds. The course aims to deliver a fun on-water experience for kids to try the sport of sailing at an affordable entry price. The course is run by Australian Sailing-accredited instructors and incorporates games, adventures, and group training drills to develop fundamental skills in a safe environment. There isn’t a court, pitch, gymnasium, or oval like other sports, instead, you have the beautiful Swan River to explore.
The Tackers for Teens course is $380 and runs over five 4 hour sessions, held during the school holidays.
Once sailors have completed the course they may receive an invitation* to join one of our weekly training groups to continue developing their skills and passion for the sport of sailing or complete a second course to further develop confidence and skills in the boat before progressing.
The courses run for five 4-hour sessions, the costs are $380 for Holiday Camps.
If this is your first sailing course you will need to click “Sign Up” for an Australian Sailing number during registration.
Please note that our courses are available from October to April and close for Winter.

*The invitation to join the Open Skiff training fleet is based on an assessment made by the coaches and head coach, primarily around safety awareness, confidence, and competence on the water. Factors such as listening, behavior, commitment, coachability, enjoyment, support of family, size, and age all play an important role in the enjoyment and success of the sailors and the whole group.
