 Your assistance will be key for the program to run smoothly and for your kids to get comfortable with sailing.  This is not a drop-off / pick-up type of program.

 28 January – 14 April (excl. 17 March) LTS 2 – Sunday Mornings from 9am-11am

Get your sailing to the next level.

 The kids will get to explore the lake in a follow the leader fleet set-up and possibly get their first taste for racing depending on their comfort level.

Also have your details handy if you have a first aid certificate or Working With Children Check.
