Teaching kids to sail; instilling the passion of sailing from the grassroots that’s what we do.
At Sandspit Yacht Club we believe that lifelong sailing has huge benefits and we want as many kids as possible to have access to Yachting NZ’s Learn to Sail program Sailing is more than a sport and contribute to physical and mental development.
Participation in sailing can help build self-esteem, confidence, and build social skills.
Participation teaches children the benefits of goal-setting and practice. It breaks down barriers, helps make new friends, kids have fun, learn to be a team member and learn about fair play.
We have passionate coaches, great equipment and one of the best bays in the world to learn to sail.
COME AND GIVE IT A TRY!
