Saftey Bay Yacht Club (SBYC) offers a range of Australian Sailing learn to sail courses suited to progress children and adults into the sport of sailing. 

SBYC is hoping to run Green fleet sailing for the 2023/24 summer season which will continue to develop kids (sailing Optimist dinghies) and adults (sailing laser dinghies) who complete learn to sail programs during 2023.

Optimists and lasers can be chartered from SBYC for the Green fleet development program for a limited period. 

For more information on sailing pathways at SBYC please talk to one of the club's instructors/coaches.
