Course information
At the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, Open Discover Sailing courses are conducted on our exciting fleet of Elliott 7m Keelboats. All training courses are conducted by accredited Australian Sailing Instructors using the Australian Sailing 'Keelboat Program'. Our keelboats allow you to learn to sail without the fear of capsizing and onboard with several other people learning alongside you. 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 is a way for sailors to get a feel of sailing on different yachts, and get to know our members. Sailors will be able to purchase lunch in the CCA back at the Club following their sail on the harbour.
