Private Training Sessions
If you have completed a Sail Training Course and want to brush up on your skills, further build your confidence or just want to get on the water, why not come down for one of our private training sessions.
We offer both Instructing and Coaching Services.
Keep your skills sharp without committing to a full program, and get out on beautiful Pittwater when it suits you best. These sessions are ideal for people who are short on time but still love sailing! Our prices are all inclusive of boat usage and Australian Sailing Qualified Instructor or Coached skilled in your specific boat/Class.
What Session Should I Enrol In?
Keelboat (Elliott 7) Training Sessions
Keelboat training sessions are less formal than a course and have no predefined syllabus. You have more freedom to practice what you choose and when you like. Great for team or crew practise.
These sessions utilise the Club’s Elliott 7s.
There is space on board for upto to 4 participants plus an Instrucutor.
Private Keelboat Lesson’s are priced at $120 per hour (per boat) for Members and $160 for non-members, with a minimum session time of 2 hours, however we recommend 3 hours as a more efficient use of time.
