The RSYS Ladies of the Sea Program has been developed as a Women only course, aimed at providing a supportive environment for you to learn the ropes. The courses are conducted on our exciting fleet of Elliott 7m Keelboats and taught by accredited Australian Sailing Instructors using the Australian Sailing 'Keelboat Program'. Our keelboats allow you to learn to sail with several other people without the fear of capsizing. Learning to sail in a self-righting keelboat provides a learning platform that is stable yet responsive.

The 5th and last session of the course is set as a 'Keelboat Experience' day, where sailors will get the opportunity to sail on a members yacht. This day is not part of the syllabus, but it's a great way for sailors to get a feel of sailing on different yachts and it is a wonderful opportunity to meet some of our members who are passionate about sailing. Sailors will be able to purchase lunch in the CCA back at the Club following their sail on the harbour. 

COURSE PRICE:

Members $520 / Non-Members $650

This is a comprehensive 4 week program with an additional 5th week Keelboat Experience Day. We are unable to offer make-up days for any that you miss within your registered program.
