OutThere Sailing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are pleased to welcome participants to our fun and active OutThere Sailing PROGRAM ONE for Term 1, 2024.  This course will include FIVE sessions, conducted on consecutive Wednesday afternoons on the dates listed above.

All session times are 4:00pm to 6:30pm

Training will be conducted on the Club's fleet of Force 24 keelboats, which carry an Instructor and up to four course participants.  We'll be introducing the option to go sailing on a Pacer dinghy to further improve sailing skills & experience.  Boats will be sailed inshore on the waters of Newcastle Harbour.

The program, for sailors aged 11 to 17 years, allows both complete novices to learn to sail and experienced dinghy sailors a guided transition into keelboat sailing.  By running the two levels of the program side-by-side sailors can see the progressions available.

We continue to build on individual sailing skills week to week so that the young sailors are always learning.  We aim to progress all sailors to the point that they can confidently, with their crew, sail a keelboat themselves without the instructor on board.

These courses can lead interested participants into our Youth Squad Program - a winter coaching program aimed at racing in events with teams from other yacht clubs in NSW.  We encourage all OutThere sailors to join the Youth Development Squad.

We also encourage our OutThere sailors to consider our Youth League sailing in the Elliott 6s on Tuesday afternoons, as well as our Youth Development Regatta on 27th April 2024 and/or Academy Graduates Development Regatta on 4th May 2024.
