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.

As they grow in their skills they will move on to racing and other more challenging sailing objectives (rescues, man over board, single person sailing) with their crew.
