Tackers 3 will commence at 8am sharp. Please ensure that sailors are ready and have applied sunscreen before this time.

On Sunday mornings, we host Tackers 2 and 3 from 8:00am to 10:00am, followed by the Green, Red and Blue Fleets from 10:00am to 12:00pm. Due to our tight schedule, we kindly request parents to be punctual for drop-offs and pick-ups, allowing our sailors maximum time on the water.

Following Tackers 2 and 3, we have the Green, Red and Blue Fleet sessions. To streamline the transition, some boats will remain rigged while others will need to be derigged and stored away. We appreciate your assistance with helping your child put the boats away. 

Please remember to sign your children in and out
