Learn to sail. Build confidence on and off the water!
Our youth sailing courses teach so much more than just how to sail. It helps to plan for the unexpected, builds confidence on, in and off water. It encourages and promotes teamwork, even when sailing on their own. And it opens up a whole community of like minded people that are love the water and are keen to share their passion.
Mini Term
Our kids spring and autumn sailing programs are a short 4-week program – conducted weekly on either Saturday or on Sunday mornings for those that have already completed a term or more or attended a holiday camp.
The program is aimed at providing sailors with the opportunity to keep their skills fresh ready for the next season. The classes will be with mixed ages and skill levels – instructors will provide tips and coaching to individual students.

Note that the courses below will be available again starting in Term 4, October 2023.
Advanced O’pen Skiff
Once the sailor has learnt how to handle an O’pen Skiff fairly well it is time to move onto the Manly Yacht Club Juniors program.

No experience required, this course will cover all the key elements of theory and practical to sail a small keelboat, introduce you to racing and when ready, spinnaker sailing and competing against each other in one design match races.
