Learning to Sail
Yachting New Zealand Learn to Sail Courses for adults and children are scheduled during the season. The courses are ten weeks long on Monday nights. Sessions usually start at 5 pm with finishing times varying depending on the time of year and weather conditions. Training is a mixture of practical exercises in the club house and time on the water in the Club's fleet of dinghies.
Learn to Sail Courses are available for non-members at a cost of around $50 for ten lessons and are an excellent introduction to sailing and the Club.
Coaching and Racing
Weekend coaching and training sessions are also arranged for Club members. We draw on the expertise of our members, but also bring in guest coaches.
Throughout the season, there is an extensive racing calendar with a number of weekend fixtures both at the club and further afield.
