The Adult Spinnaker & Race Coaching program is for sailors interested in learning to competitively race. This course focuses on solidifying foundational skills while introducing in-depth knowledge, race rules & strategies and maneuvers essential for competitive success, along with the introduction of Spinnakers.
With guidance from experienced instructors, participants will gain confidence on the racecourse, learning everything from flying a spinnaker to racing tactics. This program is an exciting pathway for those aiming to sail confidently, race competitively, and one day own and skipper their own boat independently. We highly encourage participating in Twilight racing & eventually sign up for Race Series & Regattas!
