Introduction-to-sailing sessions for adults and teenagers on the Port Hacking River.
Introduction to Sailing
For adults & teenagers
We run introduction-to-sailing lessons on an as-requested basis on Sunday mornings from 10:00 am – 12:30 pm, subject to weather conditions and instructor availability.
Lessons involve both onshore theory and on-the-water practical sailing instruction. These are not private lessons — there may be other participants on the day — but when it comes to the practical sailing part, you will most likely be in a boat on your own with an instructor.
Per lesson, paid in advance: $50 youth (under 18) · $100 adult · $75 senior (65+).
Discounts may apply for adults who are full-time students, unemployed or retired — please enquire. If you decide to join the club, your lesson fees are deducted from your membership fees.
Things to Note
Sailing is weather-dependent — if conditions are unsuitable, we may need to reschedule.
If you're unwell, please stay home. Refunds or catch-up lessons are provided where needed.
Life jackets are compulsory and available at the club.
Sunscreen is available, but bring your own if you prefer a particular brand.
