Our Youth 15+ and adult Start Sailing program is designed to provide a safe and enjoyable introduction to dinghy sailing for adults 15 years and over.

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

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. You need to bring a towel and change of clothes. For safety reasons, footwear is compulsory around the club, rigging area and whilst sailing.
