The RSYS Teenage Learn to Sailing Keelboat courses are designed for teenagers aged between 13 - 17 years of age, using the Australian Sailing 'Keelboat Program'. All training courses are conducted by accredited Australian Sailing Instructors and are also open to both members and non-members.

Courses make use of the Squadrons exciting fleet of Elliott 7s sports boats. Our boats allow you to learn to sail without the fear of capsizing and with several other people on board. The Elliott 7s is the perfect boat to learn to sail in and a good starting point to get into both dinghy and yacht racing. 

Throughout the course, our teenage students will be able to enjoy sailing in all parts of Sydney Harbour. Students will be able to learn the fundamentals of sailing and develop an understanding of each person’s role and how teamwork plays a major part in being an effective crew. They will come away with the knowledge and confidence to sail a small boat competently and for those that wish, you can progress to larger boats or participate as crew on a racing boat.
