PARENTS

For ages 7-12, and for all ages of newcomers, this is not a drop and run session.
Please help out where you are able eg. supervising sign on, crewing on safety boats, setting up sign on tent, pack up.
Want to sail? Depending on numbers there may also be an opportunity for parents to sail.

FACILITIES
We do not yet have a club house (Discussions have been ongoing with Crown lands since before 2017). The container is for boat and equipment storage.
Juniors are not permitted to enter the container unless putting boats and equipment away.
There are public toilets and an outdoor shower close by.
Refreshments – the club has soft drinks , limited snacks and a BBQ is available if you would like to organise an after sail sausage sizzle etc.
The Sheoak Shack cafe is opposite the boat ramp car park and there is another shop/cafe a short distance further down Fingal Rd.

All TVSC members and parents that run the juniors sailing sessions do so voluntarily and unpaid – this is why the sailing fee is only $5 as a contribution towards running costs. We all enjoy doing it and welcome more people to join the team.
The cost of Australian Sailing Instructors $25 -30 an hour is currenlty subsidised by club funds.
Calendar & Parent’s consent form can be found on our website.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS to Junior Sailors

Juniors sailing on Sabots or X3s must not leave the beach before the safety boat is at the harbour entrance.

Capsizing may be fun but can and has caused damage to the boats you use. Many of our boats are loaned to us by club members,

Please respect the boats and equipment we are lucky enough to have available. Carry boats – never drag them.

TRAPEZE – RISK OF DROWNING if unable to unhook the harness after capsize. All juniors must be trained on water with close adult supervision to use a trapeze harness before being approved to use one solo or with another Junior. [ eg. on Flying Ants]
