Sailing School – Juniors

Black Rock offers a great pathway for kids wanting to get into sailing from complete beginner to racing regattas. We offer training boats for all Tackers programs and a limited number of charter boats are available for further training levels.

Our courses are designed for the International Optimist Sailing Dinghy, the globally recognised training boat. We also offer places for kids with their own Sabot or Minnow to join the sailing school.
