Established in 1961, the Hunters Hill Sailing Club aims to foster and encourage participation in the sport of sailing, particularly among youth and family groups. The Club demonstrates a commitment to this aim by the provision of a strong training program that seeks to develop sailing skills in members of every age and skill level. Members are expected to reciprocate by assisting with the smooth running of the Club and ensuring that the majority of the work does not fall to a small group of members. We have been developing our youth sailing program with the following as our guiding principles: To create a safe place for teenagers to figure out who they are; to be challenged and supported in that challenge by excellent coaches and infrastructure, and to develop and enjoy a mixed gender peer and friendship group that is at least as strong as school peer groups. In addition, we encourage our teenagers to continue to sail through their final years of High School, managing their time well and developing leadership skills through working in our Learn2Sail and RaceFleet programs.
