LTS is Torbay Sailing Club’s ‘Learn To Sail’ programme for young sailors aged approximately 9 to 13 years.

Over four full days (or a number of Sundays) your child will learn the basic skills of sailing needed to progress as young sailors.

Children’s programmes are sailed in plastic Optimist boats which are provided by Torbay Sailing Club. Each course is limited to a very small class of just ten sailors at a time. This meets club requirements for low instructor pupil ratios and fits the number of LTS boat available.

LTS Boats
Torbay Sailing Club uses indestructible plastic boats which are stored and used exclusively by the club for LTS training, these are clearly visible from the shore for parents' peace-of-mind. There is no need for parents to buy a boat before starting the course! We allow you try the sport and then buy if it's right for you.

Costs
The cost is $400 in total for the learn to sail course and includes boat hire, club membership for the season, friendly coaches, and small personal groups. The 4-day block courses run from 9am to 3pm each day.

Requirements
Children are required to swim 50 metres. Bring a fitting lifejacket/buoyancy aid if your child has one, otherwise the club can provide one. A wetsuit or warm clothing is highly recommended. If you require advice on equipment, talk to the LTS co-ordinator at time of booking.

Enrol Early
If you wish to enrol a child, please click 'Register Now' above. Places are limited so be quick.

Please note that the courses will only go ahead if a minimum number of registrations are reached. If this number is not reached, you will be notified by email.
