This is the first step on the Australian Sailing Keelboat training pathway. You'll start to get familiar with the vessel and the responsibilities that come with being a crew member. Your experienced instructor will introduce you to the basics of sailing on a small boat, including boat handling, safety, and sailing theory. You'll learn basic sailing terminology and rules, basic knots, tacking and gybing, and man overboard recovery. All of our instructors are qualified by Australian Sailing with years of experience.
This is a 12-hour course consisting of 2 x 6-hour lessons.
Please bring sun-safe clothing, sun cream, non-marking shoes, and a bottle of water. Life jackets will be provided.
No experience is necessary, so come along and enjoy sailing here in Manly, one of the best locations to sail in the world!
