Have fun & take your skills to the next level!
Take your sailing to the next level with Advanced Adult Dinghy Coaching, a fun yet focused course designed for those ready to refine their skills and dive into the fundamentals of racing. This program is perfect for sailors who want to level up their abilities while enjoying time on the water with like-minded individuals.
While still maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, this course places greater emphasis on sailing techniques and teamwork. It’s less about socializing and more about improving your performance and confidence on the water.
Form an RS Quest team with your friends and work together to enhance your sailing skills over the season. You'll develop as a crew, learning advanced maneuvers, boat handling, and race basics. Practice together, and who knows? You could be gearing up to race at the DSC Regattas and other club events!
This course also serves as the perfect foundation for transitioning to Adult Spinnaker + Dinghy Coaching, where competitive racing takes center stage. We highly recommend joining with a sail mate to participate & sail with throughout the course.
This course includes a one-year Social Membership to the Darwin Sailing Club, valued at $96. On the first day, participants will receive their membership cards and gain access to all social membership benefits!
