Take that next step in your sailing journey and progress from Start Sailing 2 onto Better Sailing & Start Racing.  This regular weekly program is designed to extend your sailing skills so you begin to gain confidence and learn about sailing around-the-buoys.  The goal is to eventually be ready to transition into the Green Fleet of the Sunday afternoon club racing program.

The course will be conducted over six Saturday mornings with each session running for 2.5 hours from 9:00am to 11:00am.  There are five (5) places available for this program.

Cost - $165 per sailor

The provided lifejacket must be worn at all times during the session.
