Level 1 is just the beginning of your child’s love of being on the water and is for children aged 7 years and above who have never sailed before or would like to refresh their sailing skills before moving onto the next level. The course focuses on learning the basics of wind, safety and the parts of a boat while finding the balance of fun. Stripy Squad 1 usually takes one course to complete although we have many little sailors who do this course again to iron out their nerves and to ensure they feel comfortable on the water before moving into level 2.

Course fee:
$400 for SSCBC Members
$450 for Non-Members

Please note: An Australian Sailing fee applies per course, and only one course can be booked and paid for at a time.
