The Scheme is broken up into five courses that you can progress through to achieve your personal goals. Each unit involves 12 hours of tuition and covers both theory and practical, with the emphasis being on practical “Time on Water”. The Royal Yacht Club of Victoria was the second club in Australia to be accredited by Australian Sailing (formerly Yachting Australia) to run this scheme and, as such, we are able to offer the courses below. We run these courses with a ratio of three students to one instructor, so everyone gets plenty of time to develop the three main skills of sailing; helming, main sheet and headsail trim.
The courses are generally run over two 6 hour sessions and can be over one weekend, successive weekends or during the week. However, we have the ability to tailor these times to suit you, so if you have a group of two or three people who would like to learn, or advance their sailing skills, then please contact us to tailor a program that suits you.
Contact our Sail Training & Development Manager, Ian Fox at on (03) 9397 1277 or at training@rycv.asn.au for dates, further information and to enroll in any of the courses below. If you are confident that you know which course is right for you, online enrollment is available by clicking on the date of the course that you are interested in attending.
