DurationCharteris Bay Yacht Club runs a learn to sail programme for adults and older teenagers. The course is tailored for complete novices or those who are rusty and needing a refresher course. The courses are sailed in either a single person laser dinghy with a 4.7 rig: ie suitable for 50+kg and an Topaz Omega.
The aim of the course is to prepare you for club sailing. You will learn to rig, launch and retrieve your boat, to be able to sail a basic triangular course and to be able to right your boat from capsize.
Charteris Bay Yacht Club is on the south eastern side of inner Whakaraupo (Lyttelton Harbour). From Christchurch, either come over Dyers Pass, or, through the Lyttelton tunnel. It’s then a short trip around the bays, through Teddington and on to Charteris Bay. The Club is well sign posted, with the driveway down to the Club off the main road to Diamond Harbour.
The club house is in a wonderful spot with all day sun, and sheltered from the infamous easterly wind. Because the sailing area is in the inner part of the harbour it is relatively sheltered from strong winds and swells. We utilise sailing and racing courses both in front of the club and in the main harbour which makes for an excellent variety of sailing conditions. The sailing area is affected by tides but sailing can comfortably take place 2 hours either side of low tide.
CBYC is primarily a dinghy sailing (mono and multi hull) club. We have the regions strongest Optimist, P-class and Starling fleets and strong fleets of Paper Tigers and Finns. We welcome all new members and volunteeers.
Yacht clubs are a fun, social and safe environment in which to learn to sail and make new friends. New sailors can benefit from the advice, support and experience of others. Programmes are taught by qualified coaches, providing a great experience.
