Takers 2 is the second level of the 3-level Tackers Program.

Tackers 3 builds on the skills learnt in the two previous courses, and provides opportunities for children to sail with more freedom and experience the basics of Course sailing with all points of sailing coming into play.

If you would like to experience Tackers 3, please register on our Tackers 3 Expression of Interest list, and we will contact you when a course is arranged. Tackers 3 Courses are normally scheduled on Sunday afternoons, with youngsters sharing the Clubhouse and the Maroochy River with our Racing Fleet.
