Following completion of a one day Discover Sailing Experience, kids can transition into a regular program running fortnightly on Monday evenings throughout October-December 2025.

The RC Yacht STEM program integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics concepts throgh the design, construction and operation of remote-controlled sailing yachts. These programs offer hands-on learning experiences that engage students in practical applications of STEM principles, fostering problem-solving skills and teamwork. They often involve building and customizing RC yachts, understanding boat design, and learning about aerodynamics, physics, and navigation.
