We 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
Always wanted to learn how to sail but don't know where to start? Many clubs offer their own in-house learn to sail courses for children and adults and some have yachts that you can borrow as well.
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.
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.
