The BYS Youth OutThere Sailing Squad has been created for 12-17 year-olds who have either come through the Junior Sail Training program and want to further develop their skills, or those who want to learn a range of different on-water activities. The OutThere Sailing Squad provides a season long opportunity for youth to undertake a multitude of on-water activities, including dinghy and keelboat sailing, windsurfing, powerboating and stand-up paddle boarding. All these activities are taught by qualified Australian Sailing instructors, and utilise BYS owned equipment, so there is no need to have your own boat.

This program not only provides flexibility and a focus on what the participants want to do, it is also the perfect environment for participants to cultivate life-long friendships and a love of water sports.

The season runs from November 2022 to February 2023,  The OutThere Sailing Squad runs on the same days as our Junior Sail Training, so is a great opportunity for older siblings of our junior sailors!
