USE YOUR NSW GOVERNMENT ACTIVE KIDS VOUCHER SO THEY CAN LEARN TO SAIL

Its fun and a healthy skills & confidence building sport

​​CRSC is a Sailing Australia accredited Sailing Training Centre led by an experienced training team.  Our training programs provide for both children and adults.

Following Australian Sailing’s syllabus, they progress through structured modules in a 5 week consecutive Saturday morning program.
​
Every experienced sailor in the major sailing competitions worldwide commenced sailing in “a Learn to sail” course when they were a child and have built on to their skills from those early days.

What do you need to wear and bring along to the courses?

The club supplies training dinghies and Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs. Trainees need to protect themselves with sunscreen and wear hats, tops, shorts plus old sandshoes/sneakers or aquatic footwear.  Also bring a towel and change of clothes.
​For safety reasons, footwear is compulsory around the club, rigging area and whilst sailing.
