Training

We learn so much from each other, so don't be shy to ask questions of other sailors in the yard, on the deck or at the bar.

Tractor Training and Patrol Boat Driving

Our aim is to upskill our members so they feel more comfortable and empowered to volunteer around the club on sailing days. You will be given one on one instruction and time to practice under supervision, skills needed to perform on sailing days. 

Sailing Coaching

Junior Fleet Training - 

This is training for all division 6 boats (Open Skiff, Hawk, Minnow and Optimists), Juniors must have their own boat or hire a club boat. 

Junior Fleet training is a club-based junior sailing activity program for kids who have completed the Better Sailing/Start Racing Program or an equivalent junior learn-to-sail program. The Junior fleet sailors will develop their boat handling and racing skills and learn basic racing rules in a fun and supportive learning environment. It uses a relaxed teaching structure to further develop each sailor's independence and sailing knowledge with a fun, game-based and social approach.

8 morning sessions are running on Saturdays from 25th October to 13th December.
Sailors are encouraged to join the afternoon racing. Once a month, there is a Junior Fleet training Day (as marked on the calendar) where a powerboat will help coach juniors around the race course. 

Cost per junior $150
