Learn to sail programs that cater for everyone

---

There is an excellent junior coaching and learn to sail program offered for those who have not sailed before. For first timers the club provides boats known as Skyriders to teach children the basics of sailing in an informal positive style. As the children progress through the three stages culminating in racing, the children are encouraged to improve and extend themselves to achieve their best.

The club is aware of the well-being of all members and guests so safety is paramount at all times. More information on the junior program can be found on the club forum or by emailing the Head Junior Coach on juniors@pksc.com.au.
​
Note: Kids need to be able to swim 50m 

Level 1 Sailing

Level 1 starts first time kids with the very basics of sailing - rigging, wind direction, steering and mainsheet. These drills are practiced on a robust Skyrider under the watchful eye of our Junior coaches

Level 2 Sailing

Level 2 sees kids progress to the Manly Junior class as either crew or skipper. An extensive programme of regattas are available to the juniors to compete and have fun participating - where novices are catered.

Level 3 Sailing

Level 3 sailing is carried out on the fun Flying 11's. By the end of this  level, junior sailors are proficient in sailing and can carry these skills through to sail larger and faster boats. A life long skill has now been instilled.

Adult Learn to Sail

Adults that are new to sailing are encouraged to participate in training events over the season and to register as crew on a variety of sailing boats at regular Saturday races and weekend regattas.
