Learn to sail keel boats at the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club

Keelboats allow you to learn to sail without fear of capsizing, and with several other people on the boat.

Learning to sail in self-righting keelboats (trailable yachts) provides a learning platform that is stable yet responsive.

As your skills progress, you will also develop an understanding of each person’s role and how teamwork plays a major part of being an effective crew.

You should come away with the knowledge and confidence to sail a small boat competently and for those that wish, you can progress to larger boats or participate as crew on a racing boat.
