TRY SAILING with us

COME TO LAKE Rua - Book first please

We can help you try sailing and have some fun in boats on our great little lake.

AND OF COURSE IF YOU LOVE IT WE CAN HELP YOU WITH LEARNing more on a COURSE

This is a session when you can get an introduction to the boats - our Optimist dinghies - and to some of our team.  We will help you get started rigging a boat and then sailing it.  Sail it straight and turn it around while keeping it upright most of the time.  Upside down sailing can be fun!

Little Skippers - young sailor sessions.

Especially for younger or more nervous sailors we are investigating a session to see if that will help.
This will be for younger, smaller, weaker and the more timid so we can help them get started in a very gentle and even friendlier - is that possible - way.
We have found that younger sailors struggle more and can get put off by a bit too much wind, and I have wondered if a "baby session" may help.
Please get in touch if you think this might be for you and when you would like to get started.  I think we need a bit of warmth in the air and water but we have some great ideas.

 

TRY SAILING SESSIONS

We have a couple of options for you to try sailing with us.

Come along to a regular session.  We introduce you to the team and the other sailors there for the session, and get you started rigging a boat and then it is all about sailing, with an introduction to how you sit on and move around in the boat as you turn it around.  We keep really close when you have your first turn but then give you more room but look out so we can help when you need it.  The plan is to give you three hours of fun to tempt you back.

Or check out sailing with family and friends.

Groups

We also offer you the chance to get a group together 3 to 5 sailors for $195 or get 6 to 10 family and friends together for a session for $350.

We think it is a great way to give sailing a try.  Adults are fine too as we can fit you into an Optimist or maybe a Walker Bay.

How about a Birthday Party

Bookings are essential for everything we do. 

Close attention

We work with a coach to sailor ratio of 1 coach to 5 sailors.  That is good close attention for new sailors.

We give you more room as you need it though.
