Learn to Sail

We offer introductory Start Sailing Holiday programs for 8-17yos during the sailing season in the school holidays in October, December and January.

Start Sailing: each course has two groups - Beginners in Sabots, designed for children aged from 8 to 12 who would like to learn the basic skills of sailing, for those that have never sailed before or have limited sailing experience, and Beginners in ILCA 4s, designed for older students up to the age of 16 with little or no sailing experience.

Pacer Dinghies provide the ability to pair an instructor with 1-3 children for additional fun and tuition, and for those occasional windy days. Each program runs for 3, 4 or 5 days and covers both theory and practice.

• Training boats (10 Sabots, 4 ILCA 4s & 2 Pacers)
• Personal Flotation Devices - PFDs (Life Jackets)
• Sun protection cream
• A keen and dedicated group of instructors
• Graduation Certificate presentation on the final day

A complimentary 8-week Transition to Racing program is offered to all LTS graduates, including use of Club boats.

We also encourage parents to spend some time during the week assisting with the course, from as little as 2 hours to the whole week. This allows the club's volunteers to focus on teaching and adds another layer of safety.
