Discover Sailing Experience
Come along to the NCYC Sailing Academy for one of their “Discover Sailing Experiences” which provides that opportunity to get out on the water to see what it’s like! Their experienced sailing instructors will take you onboard one of the 24 foot inshore keelboats to “give you a taste” of what sailing is all about. You will spend the morning learning basic sailing skills, terminology and boat handling manoeuvres. Five people onboard - one instructor and four participants. Enjoy the unique opportunity to spend some time on beautiful Newcastle Harbour and see the city from a different perspective! This might just whet your appetite to join them for one of their Learn to Sail courses. All you need is comfortable active clothing, an enclosed pair of shoes and a hat.
Family Sailing Adventures
Time spent with family is worth every second . . . Join us as a family group for a two-hour sailing experience which provides that opportunity to get out on the water and spend time together doing something fun! Your small inshore keelboat comes with a qualified instructor, so your family will learn all the basics of sailing and enjoy working together as a team to make the boat sail. You'll also get to experience the sights of Newcastle, looking back on our city from the water! Afterwards enjoy a free share bowl of chips back in the clubhouse, as you tell your 'sailing stories'! Suitable for families of four. Children from 7 years of age, with at least one adult onboard. If you're a family of five, please get in touch with us and we can discuss some possible options.
Kids & Teens 'Try Sailing'!
Are your kids keen to give sailing a try? We offer introductory sailing experiences for both junior (6 - 12 years) and youth (11 - 17years) sailors. We cater for complete beginners so no previously sailing or boating experience is required. These sessions allow the kids to get a 'taste' of sailing to see what it's all about. They will be with other kids their age and have the chance to do something, new, fun and adventurous. Our junior program is a 'Tackers Intro'; a half-day session sailing on small purpose-built dinghies. The children will sail in pairs under the supervision of our Tacker Leader and assistant instructors. Our youth program is an 'OutThere Sailing Experience'; a full-day session sailing on a small inshore keelboat with an instructor on board and up to three other participants. These introductory sessions are all about the kids having fun in a safe and friendly environment. Hopefully they will love it and be keen to try one of our sailing courses . . .
