Tackers Intro

Tackers Intro is a 1/2-day session which gives kids and their parents a taste of the Tackers learn-to-sail program.

It is designed to provide a safe and enjoyable introduction to dinghy sailing for primary school aged kids (6-12 years).

We are pleased to welcome participants to our Tackers Intro Session for the Summer 2024 school holidays. 

Session time is 9:00am to 12:00pm.

Training will be conducted in the Club's fleet of OziOpti Tacker dinghies.

The NCYC Sailing Academy abides by the Australian Sailing instructor/student ratios, hence places are strictly limited.  To avoid disapointment, we encourage you to register early. 

There is a maximum of 10 places available each day.

The registration fee for this session is $65. 


If they love it . . . continue onto Tackers 1

The Tackers Intro is a perfect way to introduce kids to sailing without the commitment of the full week!  If they have a good time they can come back and do another session or continue on with a Tackers 1 course in the school holidays or during the term.
