Young Guns is a fun and active sailing program for sailors aged 11 to 17 years.  Wednesday afternoons - 3:45pm to 6:15pm - in ongoing 5-week blocks.

Sailing on our small inshore keelboats, the program allows both complete novices to learn to sail and experienced dinghy sailors a guided transition into keelboat sailing.  By running the two levels of the program side-by-side sailors can see the progressions available.

We continue to build on individual sailing skills week to week so that the young sailors are always learning.  We aim to progress all sailors to the point that they can confidently, with their crew, sail a keelboat themselves without the instructor on board.  This will likely happen quickly for the expereinced dinghy sailors and more progressively for those still learning sailing skills.  We also work towards hoisting and trimming spinnakers.

These courses can lead participants into our Youth Squad Program - a winter coaching program aimed at racing in events with teams from other yacht clubs in NSW.

We also have a fun youth keelboat racing series planned for Wednesday afternoons - so keep your eyes out for more details coming soon!

Wednesdays are youth sailing days at NCYC!!!
