Enrolment into Tackers 2 requires the completion of Tackers 1.

This course is designed to consolidate the experience and knowledge gained in ‘Tackers 1’. New skills and knowledge are introduced that will enable the successful participant to safely and competently sail a dinghy in controlled conditions independently.

Participants don't have to be a member of a club to participate. All the equipment, including life jackets and boats, are provided.

Our Instructors will make sure your children have a great time on the water learning to sail.

Mounts Bay Sailing Club is situated in Crawley, near the University of WA,  only 5 kms from the City and easily accessed from Stirling Hwy.

The course cost is $280 per sailor and includes 20 hours of tuition, full personal insurance cover issued by Australian Sailing, daily fruit for morning tea and a sausage sizzle lunch on the final day.

During the registration process, you will be required to register for an Australian Sailing (AS) number which will redirect you to a page to do so, before proceeding to the course payment page. If you have any difficulties, please contact coaching@mbsc.com.au.
