Fees

Registration Fee: $150, which includes:

• Use of Club dinghies for the whole program
• Club lifejackets
• The Australian Sailing Participant Course fee
• Qualified instructors and assistants.

The Australian Sailing Course fee enables the young sailors to fully participate in the Australian Sailing programs, for their progress through the program to be followed, and for the attainment of recognition of their progress. This also ensures that the number of participants at any time is appropriate for the level of supervision.

Once the program has commenced, the club will not be able to refund the course fee if the sailor is unable to participate in the program. 

There is a helpful handbook on the FYC website where you can learn more about the club and its Junior & Youth Sail Training Program.
