adult learn to sail
ABOUT THE COURSE
If you're becoming increasingly jealous watching youngsters’ blast around the bay and you're keen to get out on the water to give sailing a go, then this is the course for you!
Our Learn to Sail Adult course is specifically tailored for adults who are new to the sport of sailing, with a mixture of content that will help develop an understanding of sailing.
Working together in a safe environment, our team of great coaches will guide you through the fundamentals in sailing at your own pace and in an easy to understand manor, providing a solid sailing foundation.
Boat and equipment charter (lifejacket and helmet included) are included in your course fee and there is no expectation to join the Manly Sailing Club at this stage. Learning will be done in Hobie Waves, and if the conditions are favourable and there is interest, a sailor may have the opportunity to sail a Weta or a single-handed boat in the final lessons.
Adults should bring along these additional items for going on the water; a snug fitting wetsuit, neoprene boat shoes or old trainers that can get wet, a hat, sun cream and that can-do attitude!
PREREQUISITES
Entrants are typically aged 16+ and should be confident around the water. Please note a minimum of three participants is required for the course to run.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - ILCA (LASER)
ABOUT THE COURSE
This is an intermediate sailing program targeted at participants who are keen to develop their sailing and in particular, improve their racing repertoire. It's the right course for sailors wanting to develop the confidence and competence required to improve from an intermediate club level to a regatta race level.
Participants in this program will be given guidance to attend pre-selected away from home regattas throughout the sailing calendar and it is expected that, given we are developing racing skills in this course, they are supported to attend such events.
The expectation is that in between coaching sessions, sailors will train on the water without a coach. Creating this culture of sailors getting on the water together outside of scheduled coaching sessions requires more support from parents, and we believe that this is fundamental in keeping sailors in the sport.
Sailors entering this course should provide their own boat and equipment.
