Youth Dinghy Squad

The HBYC Dinghy Squad is meets Sundays Term 4 and Term 1

 If you have a child, grandchild, niece/nephew etc. that would like to join us, please contact: manager@hbyc.org.au.

Additional Information

 

Our Sunday Squad allows the children aged 10-18, not only to learn to sail, but form friendships and become part of the club community.  There are many social occasions during the year for them to interact with other children in the club. We teach the Juniors according to the Australian Sailing Dinghy Training Scheme, which means that they not only get to 'muck around in boats' but get a national accreditation at the same time. This is possible as HBYC is a Australian Sailing Discover Sailing Centre.


Not only the Juniors but all of our members have the choice to get some Nationally recognised sailing qualifications. For more info see our Adult or Junior training pages.


The club has a fleet of Pacers which are the ideal training boat. The Juniors have had great fun on these little boats so far. The pacers with Spinnakers have been a hit with those who have a need for speed!


Youth KEElboat Squads

The Keelboat squads are for sailors aged 15-29.

This next step in young sailors' journeys helps to develop new skills such as, sailing as a part of a larger crew, sailing under spinnaker and aims to build participants skills and confidence to allow them to race in HBYC Keelboat events, and even represent HBYC at regattas around Port Phillip Bay. 

During term 4 and 1, we have two Keelboat squads that meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

We are also in the process of scheduling a winter Keelboat Squad with sessions to take place on weekends.
