Season 2008/2009

This year the Club will provide a diverse sail training program catering for all ages and levels of experience. Under the direction of Jacqui Cooper we offer a Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Coaching Program for youngsters aged 8 and up. For the novice a willingness to have fun, learn some new skills and to get wet will be mandatory. Thanks to the generosity of Dockside Sailing School we will be using their Status daysailers for introductory sailing where participants can get to experience the joy of sailing before getting down to basics with the off-the-beach fleet of Pacers and Minnows.

The program will not just be for beginners but also for those who can sail, but would like to do it better. If you have your own boat that will make it even better again. But if you don’t you will still get out on the water and improve on your skills. The Club is fortunate to have an enthusiastic bunch of qualified and experienced instructors both at club and professional level. Some even learnt to sail here at the Club as kids themselves.

Plans are to hold a registration day at 1100 hrs Sunday 12th October with a possible boat trip for those who register to watch the start of the first Divisional Race of the season. It is all about getting people on the water. Mum’s, Dad’s and of course, kids. If you want to be part of it, or know of someone who may, get down to the club early on the 12th. Places may be limited to first come best dressed.
