The LTS course is designed for kids to try their hand at sailing in a fun and safe environment. This course uses Sabot sailing boats that offer an inexpensive, simple and reliable experience for kids. Our experienced coaches ensure that kids with little or no prior sailing experience can learn and enjoy sailing. Kids will be paired up with 2 allocated to each boat, preference for pairings can be sent to the course coordinator as required.

Parents are integral to this course and will be required to help the kids rig up and wash down the boats each week.
