The first step to our SSCBC junior pathway is Cara na Mara (“Friends Of The Sea”) which is a fun filled sailing course for 5 – 7 year olds.

The course runs for four days with two hours each session.

 

The primary aim is to introduce young sailors to the water and boating in general, in a controlled and safe environment. This sailing course has a maximum of 3 children to 1 instructor ratio, where the instructors are in the boat with the sailors the entire time.

 

Parents can expect their children to go sailing, play fun games and enjoy speed boat rides. All instructors are qualified Australian Sailing Instructors and all courses are conducted under SSCBC’s Safety Operations Plan.
