Learn to Sail

Twofold Bay Yacht Club is a family orientated club  that offers courses and opportunities for all skill levels from beginners to the experienced sailor. The club actively encourages participation and is committed to passing on the skills needed to sail a boat as well as the sportsmanship that goes with it. Sailing is a good way to develop further life skills, like teamwork, self-reliance, communication and trust, a great part of a skill set if you intend to travel overseas with many employment opportunities.

We have an option to suit everyone when it comes to learning to love of sailing. With very little cost or commitment, members can enjoy the marvels of sailing.  Whether you’re sailing for the first time, or returning to the sport, or an experienced sailor looking for some relaxed cruising, sailing offers a variety of social activities both on and off the water.

• Social sailing - Non-competitive participation that involves just going for a sail
• Cruising - A form of social sailing where a destination to sail to is selected
• Racing - A number of boats going round a course in a competitive structure. There are different levels of competition from more social or introductory racing, through to serious national and international regattas.

The Twofold Bay Yacht Club Learn to Sail courses are  held at the Clubhouse at Quarantine Bay on Wednesday afternoons between 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm during daylight savings -- See Calendar below.
