Our adult learn-to-sail instruction is for those with little or no sailing experience

The programme consists of six lessons held on Saturday mornings from 9.00am-12.00pm. The first intake will finish by Christmas, with a second intake to follow.  While the main focus will be on practical sailing and be mostly on-the-water there will also be some theory and homework.

Three critical things you'll learn: 
Balancing - keeping the boat from tipping over too much
Steering - pointing the boat in the direction you want to go
Using the wind - putting the sail in the right spot to make the boat move.​​​​​​​

Once you have finished your initial course you will have access to the club Fevas and be encouraged to sail in the afternoons.

Please ​​​​​​​contact adult.instruction@sailhbc.org.nz or follow the link from the Contact page if you would like more information or to register your interest for our first course starting 20 September.

Note that we have a small number of instructors and the size of each intake limited.
