Coming to Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron in 2010-11
Tackers is a new Yachting Australia program introduced to get more primary school aged kids sailing at yacht clubs across the country. The Tackers program will supplement the existing successful BYS Sail Training program.
Everything about Tackers is centred on understanding how kids learn skills and have fun through sport. The boats used in the Tackers program are small and easy to handle, designed to be sailed by children under the age of 12.
Tackers is delivered at three levels:
- Tackers 1 - Having Fun
- Tackers 2 - Tricks & Techniques
- Tackers 3 - Sailing Fast
Each program consists of:
- 20 hours tuition from qualified Yachting Australia Instructors and Assistant Instructors
- Combination of on-the-water and off-the-water games
- A Tackers kit at each level of the program
- A certificate of achievement at the end of the course
Course dates are still to be confirmed for Blairgowrie and will be updated on this web page when confirmed.
