Key Dates for 2026/27

Sabots (& ILCA 4s)

Commencing 26h July, formal coaching every fortnight* on Sunday mornings from 7:30am.  This should catch the land breeze before it dies, and provide ~2hrs on-water.  Recent LTS and Transition graduates can book & use Club LTS boats for these coach/instructor-supervised sessions.  Book here  for Sabots.

On alternate weeks, there will be drop-in sailing, with access to Club RIBs, exclusively for boat owners-only. 

Enquiries to sabots@lc12ftssc.org.au or ILCAs@lc12ftssc.org.au

Our pre-season Commodore's Welcome and PRO Briefing on Friday 4th September at 6pm is a MUST ATTEND.  

Please Save-the-Date for this important event - both a chance to socialise but also get important safety updates for the coming season.  We'll also have Transport for NSW's Boating Education Officer speaking.  We're still hoping to have a Sydney Ferries' or Captain Cook Cruises' skipper in attendance too.

Complimentary nibbles from 6pm, and drinks can be purchased from the Bar.  Presentations start at 6:30pm, and all formalities wrapped up by 7:30pm.

No need to book - just make sure all skippers (adults and juniors), crews, response boat operators and race officials attend - it's FREE.

LC12ftSSC is keen to facilitate training for all Classes during the off-season, whether it’s peer instruction, formal coaching sessions or just dropping down for a session with fellow sailors.  

Please contact your Class Secretary with any preferences but this is What’s Planned so far –

F11s

We have scheduled a Try F11 Sailing Day on 30th August from 11AM.  This will be for both experienced and inexperienced crews - an opportunity to understand your boat, improve your skills or even just try a F11.  

Register your interest with Emma at F11s@lc12ftssc.org.au

ILCA 6 &7s

Commencing soon, peer coaching on Sunday mornings from 7:30am every fortnight for 2hrs.  Scope to defer a weekend if conditions are unfavourable.  No cost* to members, but you must own & sail your own ILCA.  

Enquires to ILCAs@lc12ftssc.org.au

Cherubs & 12ft Skiffs

Rolf Lunsmann has kindly offered the Cherub fleet his considerable expertise for some off-season training sessions.  Thanks Rolf.

Powerboat Handling Courses (with NSW License option)

Conducted Thursday 6PM & Sunday all-day at the Club, this qualifies you for Australian Sailing’s excellent Powerboat Handling Certificate.  With two extra practical sessions you will be eligible to sit for Maritime’s NSW Powerboat license test. Contact commodore@lc12ftssc.org.au to register.

* All formal coaching programs will be subject to adequate uptake & registrations.  We typically need 4-6 registered participants to provide a coach or instructor.
