More Information

When and where can I sail? Lessons, conducted all year round, begin and end at Rushcutters Bay in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Dates and times are very flexible. We often arrange week night theory sessions and leave the weekends for the practical sailing component. RYA Qualification: RYA qualifications are widely recognised around the world. There are RYA schools in the U.K., USA, throughout Europe, South Africa, NZ and in Australia. You may choose to have a YA log book in place of the RYA log book, however there is a compulsory YA registration and insurance fee payable.
