Sugarloaf Sailing Club has a program designed to encourage people of all ages to sail. Potential sailors can join Fleet 101 as family members or seniors or as junior members for a nominal fee. Either way, they are full members and can sail at Sugarloaf whenever we are open using our club boats. As members, they may choose to be trained free of charge at one of our training courses or may like to participate in Fleet 101 or both.

Fleet 101 introduces people to sailing and helps them develop their training skills. Our aim is for members to be able to handle a sailing boat with confidence and to enjoy sailing. We do this through on water training, coaching and experience. Past Fleet 101 sailors have become keen racers either at Sugarloaf or elsewhere or they have found other interests. In any case, they have acquired a set of skills that go well beyond how to keep a boat moving. Skills that will never leave them. Sailing is a great sport but it can also be a lifestyle, a profession and a way of thinking.
