The Big Blue sailing school has put all sailing lessons on hold. Unfortunately the politics of Manly Yacht Club did not allow us to operate our learn to sail courses with ease over the last 2 years and we have been forced to relocate to Narrabeen Lagoon and start all over again.
We hope to continue the development of the our kids sailing program this summer
If your Yacht Club is in need of some boats then consider our Openbics. Our fleet of 15 Openbic's and bus are available to go any where. Perhaps a first in Australia. Our 15 Openbics were driven by Glide Industries to Cairns and back for the first Openbic Nationals. Luca Rosevear aged 10 come 15th out of 45 boats. Luca attended the school sailing and afterschool programs. It was a great result from Luca who had only had two weekends of Racing before the event. A sign our programs work?
