Ever been keen to start sailing, but too afraid to try?

SailPro is a brand new initiative which is inviting you to come and experience the fun of sailing. Sailing is affordable and accessible for people of all ages and abilities.

The SailPro schools program is South Africa 's first professionally run premier sailing initiative that introduces scholars to the exciting world of team racing.

The program caters for a range of skill levels from the first time sailor right through to a junior world champion.

Through the schools team racing program we aim to get sailing recognized as an official school sport throughout South Africa and in doing so increase participation at high school level.
