Junior Sailing Kicks Off

Our junior sailing training has commenced for our Opti Green, Open and Starling youths. We welcome a new coaching format this year with training on Saturday mornings to allow more time on the water to develop their skills and love for the sport.

We have had a fantastic turn out so far with a fleet of around 15 Optimists and 5 Starlings. Our kids are working on drills and games to improve their boat handling, race start practice, mark rounding, roll tacking, backwards sailing and more. Most importantly, they are spending lots of time having fun out on the water.

After each training session we have a BBQ at the club and a debrief.

Often we will follow up training for our world famous in Taupo “Ice cream Run” to Two Mile Bay Sailing Centre.

All are welcome to join the Ice Cream run which we hope to run weekly.
