Kids sail in pairs in small boats, progressing to sailing solo. It's a great way to meet new friends (and sail in a likeminded group) and kids have the chance to sail with others in their group.

During registration, if you are new to sailing or do not have an Australian Sailing (AS) number, scroll down to "Don't have an Australian Sailing number", then complete the registration process to obtain an AS Number. 

If you are unsure of your AS number, scroll down to the "Don't know your Australian Sailing Number?" section.
