The starting point for younger sailors (from age seven) is the Beginner Oppie Pirates course. This four week course introduces the young sailors to the sport, using small boats (Oppies) designed for this age group, where they will learn how to rig their craft, steer their own boat to sail a simple course and return to shore safely. Taught in small groups this is the ideal way start sailing.

On successful completion of the Beginners course young people can progress to the next level – the Advanced Oppie Pirates course.
