How to Register

This program is for JUNIOR MMYC club members.
The participants must either be part of a Family Membership or have obtained a Temporary Junior Start Sailing 1 & 2 Sail Pass.
(The Temporary Junior Start Sailing 1 & 2 Sail Pass allows a junior to participate in the course with personal accident insurance provided by Australian Sailing.  Club access is limited to the hours of the course only). 

This course has a minimum age of 7 and a maximum of 13 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: $365, 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 young sailors to fully participate in the Australian Sailing programs, follow their progress through the program, and attain 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. 

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