Some photos of the Tackers kids getting excited for their graduation this weekend! This group has battled storms and high winds throughout their course and won, so they should be ready for the Sydney to Hobart this year!

What do you do when it's too windy for the Tackers 1s?

Another Tackers course off to a roaring start! Here's Tackers 2 enjoying a quiet spot and a great first day.

Tackers - RQYS Tackers (levels 1 – 3) are children’s sailing courses that run during school holidays and through the school term. The courses are structured to teach children the basics of sailing while also supporting them to learn at their own pace. The students progress through 3 stages in Tackers – levels 1, 2…

Our Tackers finished their courses last week and we couldn't be prouder of their achievements! Here are some action shots.

Our Tackers are half way through their courses and are learning so much! Parents are welcome to join us for the presentation on Sunday the 6th of September at 12pm.

Last weekend marked the start of Tackers in term 3! Despite the lack of wind the kids had a great time and learnt a lot.
