Learn To Sail
We offer term based junior sailing programs, school holiday programmes, boat charter options, and youth/adult sailing opportunities.
Our policy is to make learning to sail affordable for families. We make first class boats available so that parents are not faced with the expensive costs of acquiring competitive sailing dinghies for their children.
There is an expectation that parents will participate in a rostered system to help with the smooth operation of the programme. The three key areas are:
- On shore support during sessions
- Quad driver for taking boats to the beach
- On water support for the coach (coming out in the coach boat).
Training will be provided for the quad bike and on water support roles for those interested. Other club roles include resource maintenance, group leaders, other admin etc.
Term 2 Program 2022
Our term 2 program for 2022 will run from Sunday May 15th to Sunday July 3rd.
Our morning sessions are for Opti and RS Feva Learn to sail and Development sailors. The afternoon sessions are for RS Feva Sailors to learn racing skills. Upon registration, parents will be expected to participate in a parent roster.
There will also be a parents orientation session Sunday 8th May at 10am with a working bee starting shortly after. This orientation is for parents to learn the basics of sailing and how they can best assist their child during sailing sessions. This includes topics of: Launching, Retrieving, Sailing Attire, Safety, Coach Boats etc.
