  1. TACKERS Junior Sailing Development Plan

  2. OVERVIEW Tackers is the foundation of the yachting pyramid in that it is designed to introduce and retain more kids (as well as adults) into the sport of sailing. All stakeholders will benefit in the long term by introducing more people to sailing due to the cost efficiencies, central co-ordination and reduced reliance on volunteers. Retention rates will improve because of the safe & fun experience, leading to more club members, boats, berths and industry viability. Tackers will also change the perception of our sport by involving a broader base and enhance clubs relationships with government by delivering benefits to the community. Steven Bond. July 2006. www.littletackers.com.au.
