Event information

Registrations for this event are closed.

Port Denison Sailing Club is pleased to present GREEN FLEET Learn to Race coached racing this term for children aged 6+ who have previously completed multiple sessions of Big Pirates Learn to Sail and who are currently members of the club. 
Some prior experience of sailing and proof of on-water confidence is required as this course is more intensive and takes place over three sessions this term, continuing next term with the goal of moving towards joining club racing/preparing for the Airlie Beach regatta/sailing in the Sail Bowen in November.  Please speak to instructor Johanna to see if your child is ready for this next step before registering.  
The lessons will be presented in a fun and interactive way with activities and drills aimed at this age group.
Water confidence is essential to join Green Fleet Learn to Race as we sail further from the beach. 
Students will sail in the Club's "Qube" learner boats, or in their own/club Optimists, with lifejackets supplied.
Students need to bring their swimmers, a stinger suit, hat, sunscreen, towel and water bottle.
Each session runs for 1.5 - 2 hours and we ask that parents attend in order to assist with moving equipment to and from the water's edge as required.
