RPAYC 'Out There' Holiday Program

Tuesday 21 - Friday 24 January 2025

The RPAYC Discover Sailing Centre is pleased to welcome you to Week 3 of our OutThere Holiday Program for January 2025.

This four-day program will include a variety of sailing activities that are focused on having fun and learning basic sailing skills. Sessions will be conducted on a mix of Club vessels, including the RPAYC's fleet of Elliott 7 Keelboats, Pacer Dinghies, Windsurf and SUP Boards, Hobie-Cat Dinghies and Powerboats.

The RPAYC Discover Sailing Centre abides by the Australian Sailing Instructor/Student ratios, hence places are strictly limited. All courses are subject to change with limited notice, based on demand and availability. To avoid disappointment, we recommend registering early.

There are two registration fee categories available for this Course:

• $495.00^ - RPAYC Youth Members
• $545.00 - Non-Members

^To be eligible for the 'Member Discounted Fee', the participating 'Youth Member' is required to be financial for the current membership season (through until 30th April).

Weather
The Discover Sailing Centre at RPAYC will always provide a productive session, regardless of the current or forecasted weather. Parents are therefore requested to encourage participants to attend each scheduled session, as well as assist them to prepare the appropriate clothing and equipment required for the day's weather outlook.

What to Bring

• Water bottle
• Lunch and snacks
• Hat & sunscreen
• Shoes (water shoes, wetsuit booties, old sneakers)
• Wetsuit, or shorts & warmer top.

We will provide you with a Personal Flotation Device (lifejacket) if you don’t have your own. We recommend that you wear warm waterproof clothing on the water.
