LEARN TO SAIL   Dinghy:  Level 1... Level 2 (x out one)

The Level 2 course is for those who have already successfully completed the Level 1 course and are ready to move on the next level.
Participants will learn more advanced skills, to Yachting New Zealand Level 2 standard.

Level 1 and 2 training may run at each course, if required. There is a maximum of 12 places on each course. Adult numbers may be limited by the number of available club boats of suitable size.
Bookings will be confirmed on receipt of a completed application form (see below) and full payment.

On the water:
• wetsuit (short wetsuit recommended during summer or full length for winter)
• swim suit, togs, or shorts
• booties or old sneakers (protection from oysters)

Course location
The course will be based at the Point Chevalier Sailing Club Clubhouse, Raymond Reserve, Raymond Street, Point Chevalier and the waters directly off the Raymond Reserve.

Course hours
The course will start with an introduction night to meet the instructors, discuss the course content and required gear and start the theory portion of the program. Trainees need to be at the Clubhouse by 6:00 pm on the Friday. This session will last approximately 2 hours.

On the remaining sailing days trainees must be at the Clubhouse at the indicated start time. Each training session will be approximately 4 hours long - after the equipment is packed away and a debriefing has been completed.
No session will be cancelled as weather conditions may change and there are indoor activities.

Parents/Caregivers Please Note:
An adult must stay to take responsibility for their child when they return ashore. Our instructors stay on the water until the last sailor is ashore and are therefore unable to help supervise children ashore.
If you would like to use your own boat, please contact the Learn to Sail Program Director prior to the course starting.
