Waszp Class Training Sessions
Elevate Your Sailing Experience Embark on a Thrilling Adventure with Foiling Sailing in the Waszp Class.
Designed for members proficient in sailing a Waszp class dinghy, these “Practice Foiling ” training sessions are your gateway to foiling and practice for the coming NSW Slalom Regatta.
Saturday target times from 12 to 5 pm.
Sessions are planned considering optimal weather conditions (10-15 knots), and availability of participants and volunteers, primarily targeting weekends
A dedicated volunteer “Foiling Captain” aboard a RHIB will oversee sessions. Volunteers will be assisting with boat launching, safety, and facilitating participant exchange onto a boat.
