Autumn / Winter Training 2026

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 –

Sabots, F11s & ILCA 4s

Commencing 2nd May, formal coaching every fortnight* on Saturday 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 & ILCA 4s.

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

F11 training options to be posted shortly.

Enquiries to sabots@lc12ftssc.org.au , F11s@lc12ftssc.org.au or ILCAs@lc12ftssc.org.au

ILCA 6 &7s

Commencing 3rd May, 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.
