PROGRAM DETAILS
COST: $120
This Try Sailing Program is designed to show your child all about the fun of sailing while being in the safety of Lake Alexander. There is no limit to how many times your child can do this, if they enjoy it and want to have a friend give it a go, then they can participate again. Once they have had a go, if they want to keep sailing then you can join the Blue and Orange Fleets (Blue = under 9's and Orange = under 12's) where they will learn all the skills to eventually be able to sail and look after a boat on their own.
This program is ideal for any child ages 6-12 wanting to give sailing a go.
Classes are conducted by friendly Australian Sailing qualified instructors.
