IF THE kids are looking for something fun to do these school holidays, why not try the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club (NYRC) school holiday sailing program.
The programs set sail on 12 January and a range of courses are available for children of all ages and abilities.
The five-day tacker program is for children aged six to 12 years and is the Yachting Australia Introductory Sailing program with three levels of instruction, each being a 20-hour course.
Tackers aims to introduce children to sailing and to teach them to use the wind, current and tide to sail, as well as help improve self-esteem, value teamwork and develop motor skills.
All courses will run Monday to Friday with level one from 9am-1pm and levels 2 and 3 from 12.30-4.30pm.
Morning or afternoon tea and lunch are provided for each level and the children also receive the Tackers Pack, plus a sausage sizzle and certificate presentation on the last day of the program.
For the older children, the regular holiday sailing program will be offered Monday to Friday, from 10am-4pm with lunch and afternoon tea included.
All programs are filling fast. Phone the NYRC sailing office on 5440 7407 to find out more and to enrol.
