DurationWe have had a number of adults who have learnt to sail with us in recent times - some going on to compete successfully at a high level. Whatever your interest, we look to tailor individual lessons to suit the sailor and these are taught by our club Secretary, Rob Ebert on a one on one basis. He teaches adults in a large version of the Optimist dinghy - an Optimax and he can normally get an adult sailing independently in 2-4, 1 hour lessons.
The algal bloom (cyanobacteria) problems haven't gone away completely but the tests are better and the alert level has been lowered from red to amber. The health risk to sailors from exposure to the lake water is low, and can be made even lower with sensible simple risk management strategies.
How the situation changes over the summer is not entirely predictable. HYC will communicate to members via this website, and the clubs Facebook page. Based at Lake Rotoroa, the Hamilton Yacht Club sails several times a week and offers Round the Bouys racing, suitable for serious and casual sailors of all ages.
The IYT Try Sailing Course is a 5 hour course aimed to provide candidates with basic introductory knowledge for crewing a vessel (monohull or catamaran) up to 15 meters in inland or coastal waters <5 miles offshore during daylight hours in moderate wind and sea conditions.
Our Adult Learn to Sail courses comprise 6 three hour sessions over a 6 week period where you will learn the basics of sailing in a two person dinghy. The courses are led by a Yachting New Zealand qualified coach under a YNZ curriculum.
Learn to Sail course is offered by Otago Yacht Club Inc. LTS is for all ages and abilities. What should sailors bring? Sailors need suitable sailing clothing for the cold Dunedin harbour (wetsuit, booties/water shoes), a towel, and a warm change of clothes.
The course will cover a range of subjects, including: water safety, names of boat parts, setting up boats, capsizing, launching and retrieving, tacking, gybing, points of sail, basic knots, rules and meanings.Â
You’ll learn how to sail a dinghy. Each session will have a briefing before and after and we will work on all the things you need to know to be able to control your vessel confidently. If the weather is bad we’ll be learning how to tie knots
