Each course comprises of a series of lessons conducted on weekends – 6 Saturday or Sunday mornings over 6 consecutive weeks (8.30am -12pm) – or sometimes school holiday mornings – 5 mornings Monday to Friday (8:30 – 12:30) – in the beautiful and protected waters of the Swan River. The wind is typically light to moderate in the mornings and great for learning how to sail.
NYC uses Australian Sailing accredited instructors and we provide all course specific equipment, including Puffin Pacer training dinghies and Personal Flotation Devices (life jackets) for all attendees. Students will receive a Australian Sailing logbook to track course progress. The logbook can be used at NYC or any club that teaches Australian Sailing certified courses.
