How to Register

This program is for MMYC club members.

Link: Get a SailPass for this event.

This course has a minimum age of 7 and a maximum of 12 years.

Make sure you are using the participant's login details. Registrations won't work for anyone outside the age range. If you've forgotten login details, follow the 'forgot login details' and they will be emailed.

Fees

Registration Fee: $350, which includes:

• Use of Club dinghies for the whole program
• Club lifejackets
• A Club t-shirt
• 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 attainment of recognition of the progress they have made. This also ensures that the numbers of participants at any time are appropriate for the level of supervision.

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

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