RQ Youth Squad Training

Advance Your Sailing

The RQ Youth Squad including Green Fleet is a development program consisting of young sailors with expertise in various boat classes. This squad brings together diverse fleets, forming a cohesive team. Led by our Head Coach Adrian Finglas and facilitated by our certified Australian Sailing Coaches. The RQ Youth Squad and Green Fleet conduct regular group training sessions during school terms, guiding members towards competitive success at state, national, and even world levels. The program seamlessly integrates with Club Racing, offering ample opportunities for students to engage as part of the club. The squad operates year-round which includes our specialized Green Fleet for beginners who are starting their racing journey.
