School Location
Our Sailing School
has been established to teach youth the sport of sailing under
the guidelines of the Australian Yachting Federation National
Training Scheme by an AYF accredited instructor.
We operate from
a number of venues on Port Phillip Bay and Gippsland Lakes
in East Gippsland .
Yachts vary from
the 4.5 meter Pacer, Ectreme X3 dinghies, to Elliots 5.9.
These yachts are an exciting way to either learn the basics
of sailing, improve your already existing skills, and then
move on to the advanced course.
The pricing will
vary depending on your need. Please ring and discuss.
Long term arrangements do get a better rate!!
