MYC's Junior & Youth Sailing Program (Ages 8–21)
Confidence. Friendship. Adventure. Skills for Life.
About Sailing
Sailing is a challenging and rewarding sport. Wind and water are constantly changing as your young sailor adapts tactics, strategy, rules, resilience, self-confidence and teamwork.
Sailing is physically and mentally demanding, promoting a healthy body and mind, critical thinking and decision making that will help your child succeed throughout life.
Sailing also creates a safe environment where the consequences are real, and where friendships, respect and getting better at something is an investment in the future. MYC coaches are amongst the very best and will help your young sailor acquire a level of knowledge and experience from which sailors begin to enjoy challenges and become passionate about them.
Sailing at MYC is about creating a safe environment for children to explore and challenge themselves, a place for families to contribute and shape their community.

OUR AIM: To encourage active learning for young sailors to develop confidence and competence as they develop into resilient and independent youth on a lifelong journey of Family, Friendship & Sailing.
All sailors will need to be an MYC member. Parents can sign them up individually or as part of a family membership.
When registration asks for log in details, these are your Australian Sailing details (connected to your AS number). Can also just register as a 'guest' on the right hand side :)
ALREADY BEGUN? For sailors and families already involved, please see links above to register and arrange membership. If you need to renew your membership, please contact the office below.

HOW WE DELIVER OUR PROGRAM: Through a structured learning methodology, the MYC Junior and Youth Sailing Program focuses on learning and development within a broad curriculum that teaches more than just skills and techniques. Our sailors progress through a 6 level level pathway at their own rate, and our team of coaches and instructors are also developed along with sailors.
At MYC, we encourage families to be involved in club life and assist in their child's sailing journey, as none of this is possible without the effort and commitment of sailors, coaches, volunteers and families.
Classes we coach:
Optimists - Green, intermediate and Open
Ilcas - up to Ilca 6
Double handed boats - 420s and 29er
Why Families Choose MYC
✔ Weekly coaching & Sunday sailing
✔ Midweek training opportunities
✔ Club racing & regattas

✔ Structured pathway from beginner to performance sailing
Fantastic value: Non-members paid approximately $660 for Winter Training Camps alone in 2026. Youth membership at $787.50+ MYC membership includes an entire season of sailing opportunities for only a little more.
From weekly sailing and racing to winter camps, social events and regattas. Our program provides a full year of opportunities both on and off the water.
