The course will run for six Saturdays - 10.30am to 2pm. The Bellinger and Kalang rivers at Urunga are the perfect environment to safely learning how to sail small boats.
The Urunga Sail Training Club has programs for people of all ages and abilities and has been teaching sailing on the Mid North Coast for nine years.
The instructors have diverse sailing experience having sailed in many boats both large and small and are able to easily adapt to the needs and abilities of students.
Participants will learn how to skipper and crew a sailing dinghy, basic sailing manoeuvers, understand the language of sailing, rigging, safe launch and retrieval, capsize recovery drills, reading tide and weather conditions and much more. The course is aimed at beginners and anyone wanting to brush up on their sailing skills - so no experience is necessary.
Sailing is a wonderful sport for all ages and kids from Year 3 and up - it encourages both mental and physical ability and promotes a healthy, active outdoor lifestyle. Apart from basic sailing skills the sailing lessons teach many valuable life lessons like decision making, resilience, leadership, teamwork and communication in a fun and healthy environment.
The USTC also has 'Social Sailing' days so you can use your new sailing skills, and members can use the club boats when they aren't being used for lessons. We believe in making sailing available to everyone so contact us for more information. Book a space on the new course and begin your sailing journey today.
