Our Junior Sail Training Green Fleet 1 (Start Racing) Program is designed for kids aged 8 to 17 years who have already learned the sailing basics and provides a gradual transition from sailing lessons to sailing and racing in a junior fleet.

The Green Fleet 1 Program involvies a mixture of classroom learning, sailing exercises, adventure games, occasional racing and cruising to a destination.  Participants under the age of 12 should have attended at least 2 Australian Sailing Tackers courses before enrolling

Current sailing classes in our Green Fleet are Optimists and O’pen Skiffs.  All the equipment, including the boats, is provided for Green Fleet Level 1 and Club boats can be chartered for use.

Eligible persons must be either SPASC Family or Junior members
