About
Overview Keppel Bay Sailing Club offers structured sailing programs for children at Causeway Lake, Yeppoon. The primary program for kids is 'Tackers', a game-based introductory course designed for children with no prior sailing experience. All necessary equipment, including boats and personal flotation devices (PFDs), is provided by the club. The courses are conducted in the sheltered waters of the Causeway Lake, allowing parents to observe from the shore.
The Tackers program is delivered in three progressive levels: Tackers 1 – Having Fun, Tackers 2 – Tricks & Techniques, and Tackers 3 – Sailing Fast. Each level consists of 20 hours of participation. Tackers 1 is typically run as a four-day school holiday program, while the subsequent levels can be completed during school terms on Sunday mornings or as other holiday programs. The club also offers programs for older children and adults, including 'Out There Sailing' for teenagers and learn-to-windsurf courses.
