Course Overview
'Tackers' is an Australian Sailing national program for kids between the ages of 7-12. It is aimed at introducing children to sailing in a fun, safe way within a three-level format. All courses are conducted by fully qualified Australian Sailing Instructors & Assistant Instructors and RSYS is an accredited Discover Sailing Centre.
Tackers 3 is the final tackers level, for those who have completed Tackers 1 & 2. Sailors will develop advanced sailing skills through activities and adventures on the water.
Boats are provided by RSYS and are specifically designed for children learning to sail. Although Life Jackets are also provided to each sailor, all children must be able to confidently swim 50 meters. You will receive an email upon registration with additional information on what to wear and bring along to the Discover Sailing Tackers Course.
