Thank you for coming to our Tackers program! We hope you had a fun time. 

Your next steps to continue your sailing learning is to join our Tackers transition program. This program is run by the club and called 'Next Wave'. Our Next Wave sailors still have boats provided by the club (the same plastic Opti's used in Tackers), and is designed to assist sailors who would like to continue sailing but may not feel they are ready for Green Fleet or who are not ready to buy their own boat. 

It is a 6 week program with a focus on building your childs' confidence in their sailing skills, not technical perfection. 

If your child is feeling confident with their skills and would like to progress into Green Fleet they can do this too, and join our Green Fleet program. To book in please email me on a.catt@ryct.org.au or call me on 62234599

Hope to see you on the water again - Amelia Catt (RYCT Coaching Development Manager)
