Better Sailing 28th - 30th September
Our LC12ftSSC Out There Better Sailing camp is for sailors that have made the commitment to participate in the club's Junior Sailing program, compete on a regular basis on Saturday afternoon, and are keen to develop their sailing skills. Participants will have completed one or more of the club's Learn to Sail courses and Transition to Racing courses.
Sailors will be grouped according to skills. The 3-days will include basic boat handling skills, and adventure sailing exploring the river and Harbour (west of the Bridge). It will be great preparation for those considering States & Nationals this season focusing on starting, mark roundings, strategy, tactics and dealing with big fleets.
The course will run for 3 days, 9:30am to 4pm daily and will be in Sabots, F11s and ILCA 4s. Subject to registrations there will be separate instructors for each Class.
Details and bookings can be made here. SOLD OUT
