Learn To Sail

 

Bundaberg Sailing Club conducts a number of Sail Training days each year. Training is both on land theory and on water practical in the club’s training craft. The club has a number of different off the beach dinghy’s to give a range of sailing and rigging techniques.

The Bundaberg Sailing Club Inc. is to conduct Learn to Sail Classes for Adults and Children. The program is starting for Adults on Saturday 27th August, 2016 from 9am to noon and weekly thereafter for six (6) weeks. The program for Children will commence at a later date to be advised.

Sailing is a fun sport and during the course you will be given instruction on the basics of sailing to enable you to understand the basics of sailing and boat handling.

The cost for Adults includes one full year’s family membership of the Club $200 (covering two adults and their children) plus the training fee $100 per person.

The cost for Children includes one full year’s junior membership of the Club $50 (if not included in a family membership) plus the training fee $100. $150 vouchers are available through the Sport and Recreation Dept “Get Into Sport” programme. See their website.

Boats and life jackets will be provided by the Club.

You will need to wear appropriate clothing and have spare dry clothing as during the training you will be involved in righting a capsized boat. This will be discussed further at the first training day.
Your own water, sun hat, sunscreen and towel are necessary items to being with you.

If you are a non or weak swimmer please advise the instructor each time you go on board.

The Club canteen will operate from 10th September onwards.
