What our member says

My first time sailing was at a Holiday Camp 3 years ago. After that I did Tackers, then Junior Fleet, I’m now sailing a Laser in the SYC Sailing Team. Thank you to my coaches and the club for helping me get to where I am!

I’ve got to try so many cool things at the club. I’ve sailed on heaps of boats, gone to heaps of events, now I have my own boat and race that. My whole family sails now!

I started Sailing 2 years ago and now I’m winning races, and competing in National Regattas. Shout out to my coaches Grace and Angus. And thanks Dad, without your help I wouldn’t be where I am.

An unforgettable adventure awaits young explorers with Southport Yacht Club sailing Academy.
