OutThere Sailing is the ideal way to have fun and get active on the water.

This pilot program is aimed at 12-17 year olds who would like to try sailing, windsurfing and/or paddle boarding. On top of these, there are also fun powerboat and keelboat experiences along the way.

The aim of the program is to have fun, spend time with friends and learn new skills. All OutThere Sailing programs are delivered by qualified Australian Sailing Instructors.

The program is designed to keep friends together. There are two skills sets to develop in the form of helming and crewing.

Ideally getting a balance between both is great but if you would prefer to do one over the other there is plenty of ways to have fun. OutThere Sailing will also focus on the social element of a club environment, simply enjoying time spent with peers whether that be on the water, on the beach or in the clubhouse.

The OutThere Sailing program cost is $275 per sailor and includes 20 hours of tuition, full personal insurance cover issued by Australian Sailing, a National OutThere Sailing Certificate and a sausage sizzle lunch on the final day.

All content is delivered in the most practical way possible - on the water!

With high instructor to student ratios, students will sail in pairs in their own ‘Pacer’ training dinghy, with an instructor close by in a powerboat.
