Winter Sabot Training
(Jul-Aug, 2026)
Sabots (& ILCA 4s)
Commencing 19th 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
Save-the Date - Friday 4th September, 2026
Our pre-season Commodore's Welcome and PRO Briefing is scheduled for Friday 4th September from 6pm. Please Save-the-Date for this important event - both a chance to socialise but also get some important updates. We're hoping to have a Sydney Ferries' or Captain Cook Cruises' skipper in attendance this season.
Other Training
(also see Learn-to-Sail)
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 are planning a Try F11 Sailing Day in late August. This will be for both experienced and inexperienced crews - an opportunity to understand your boat, improve your skills or even just try a F11. Details to follow shortly. 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
