Association Secretary Neville Koop says they have established a programme aims at eight years and over to build their knowledge and skill in water safety while at sea.
“We start from 8-9-10 years old. The only thing that we required from those who wanted to learn to sail whether they young children or adult. If they want to sail and also learn the basic level of water safety.”
Koop says they have started the programme in few clubs such as Laucala Bay Club and Suva, Suva Yacht Club in Walu Bay, Savusavu, Denarau and Pacific and in Vuda Marina in the Western Division.
He says they are planning to extend the programme to other part of Fiji.
