Junior Sailing - Learn to Sail
Our junior sailing season has finished now for the year. Our open day and registration for the summer 2013/2014 season is on 22 September 2013. We hope to see you then.
Maraetai Sailing Club has a Junior Sailing programme over the summer months each year for children from 9 yrs to 18 yrs with training by qualified coaches. We teach kids in the following classes - Optis, Starlings, Pclass, Splash & Jolly Boat.
The Sailing Club has a number of optimist sailing dinghies for first year juniors who don’t have their own boats. These optimists are available to hire for the first season of sailing. The coaches give freely of their time to train enthusiastic youngsters how to sail. There is a limited number of spaces available for Junior Sailing Tuition.
The Club has a number of patrol boats which remain on the water whilst junior training is in progress. Safety is very important to both Clubs, on and off the water. The Sailing Club juniors must wear an approved buoyancy aid at all times. All parents must be able to assist with duties BBQ etc.
Approval is required from the Sailing Club Committee to borrow any of the Sailing Club's equipment. Sailing Club Members must complete a boat handling course to be able to tow and use one of our ribs.
