Learn To Sail
Learn to sail at Milford Cruising Club this summer! At MCC 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.
Our junior sailing programme for 8-18 year olds runs on Friday afternoons during Terms 4 and Term 1 of the school year and provides 3 modules run under the guidance of a qualified Yachting NZ (YNZ) coach.
- YNZ Learn To Sail 1 Start Sailing – in our Optimist Dinghys
- YNZ Learn To Sail 2 Sailing Fast – in our Optimist Dinghys
- YNZ Learn To Sail 3 Go Racing – in our 2 person RS Fevas
| When: | Term 4: October – December & Term 1: February – March |
| Day/Time: | Fridays 3.30pm – 6.30pm |
| Location: | Meet at MCC then on to Milford Beach |
Our Junior Sailing class sizes are limited to 25 kids. Beginners first learn how to sail in the Optimists then, once confident, they graduate to sailing our 5 RS Fevas for competitive training and inter club racing. On the water during the sailing lessons we also operate 3 rigid hull inflatable patrol boats for training and safety.
This programme is intended to be a family social event, getting the children into learning to sail, and we request that at least one parent/caregiver is available to attend each week from each family to help supervise/launch and retrieve boats. Parents may be able to assist on the water in the patrol boats.
At the end of training, join us for sausages and refreshments at the Clubroom afterwards.
