Our Junior Learn to Sail Programme
TYPBC is committed to creating the next generation of both sailing champions and sailing lovers.
We offer a clear path for children from 8 years + to learn to sail using equipment provided by TYPBC. The learning process involves a mix of both team and individual sailing in Optimist and RS Quest dinghies covering water safety, learning to sail individually and as part of a team, rope work, boat preparation & maintenance.
No sailing experience is necessary, just an ability to swim 50m in a life jacket, have confidence in water, and most importantly the desire to learn and have fun. We provide boats, life jackets and helmets, you will need to supply suitable protective clothing ideally this includes a wetsuit. Also bring water bottles and sunscreen.
Our coaches are Yachting New Zealand qualified and are trained in powerboat operation and safety. We run a one coach to a maximum of six children ratio to ensure that all children are looked after in a supportive and stimulating environment.
