Tackers 3 will begin at 8am. Please ensure the sailors are prepared and have sunscreen on prior to 8am.

On Sunday mornings, we run Tackers 3 and Green Fleet from 8-10am, and Green and Blue Fleet from 10am-12pm. Due to the tight timings, we ask parents to be on time for drop off and collections to allow the sailors as much time on the water. 

Since we have Green and Blue Fleet straight after, the Tackers will NOT be required to pack up their boats as they will be used by the other sailors. 

Please remember to sign your children on and off
