Australian National Sabot Council

Welcome to the Australian National Sabot Council Website.

Sabots are the premier junior sailing class in Australia with over 60 years of history.

The boat is just under 8 feet long with a single sail, and a stayed mast.  With a hull weight of 22.7kg, Sabots are easily handled on and off the water by even the smallest kids.

Sabots can sailed by one or two children - when sailed 2-up the skipper steers the boat while the crew looks after the sail - terrific for little ones to get their confidence alongside a mate. 

Sabots are an excellent dinghy for all kids to learn to sail and are a proven path to successfully continue to the highest level of racing.  They have a modern rig, with sail controls that will teach them skills directly applicable to the intermediate and adult classes.  The centreboard and rudder are modern high aspect foils, providing the young sailor with good looking equipment that is reliable and proven.

Many sailing clubs offer learn to sail programs in Sabots. Many kids that have learnt to sail in a Sabot have gone on to become Olympic Champions.

“80% of what I learnt in sailing was in a Sabot”.
