Adult Learn to Sail

Pacific Sailing School (PSS) and Cronulla Sailing Club (CSC) are working in partnership to introduce new people to sailing and to provide crew to Cronulla Sailing Club yacht owners.

Whether your dream is to crew on a yacht on the beautiful waterways of Port Hacking, hire a yacht in the Whitsundays, or skipper a yacht in the Greek Islands, we have exciting sailing programs designed just for you to safely learn and enjoy sailing whilst meeting new people.

This program combines the AS Keelboat Start Crewing and Start Helming Courses and includes: 

  • 4 x 6 hour practical lessons
  • 1 x hour theory before each lesson
  • 1 x theory and social evening (October 10th at 6pm to 9pm)
  • 1 x 3 hour Discover Sailing Experience to gift to a friend. (value $200)

For 6 weeks, practice sails are available for free on a standby basis after course completion (only available at our base at CYCA on Sydney Harbour - call the day before for availability).  (Train to Edgecliff)

$1548 (For 2 or more people it’s $1462pp) plus $105 Australian Sailing Insurance, Registration, Certificate, Textbook and Log Book. Please provide your postal address for the express post.

From day one, you will have hands on instruction on helming (steering the boat), main sheet (controlling the power of the boat), winches (turning the boat through tacks and gybes etc.) and the foredeck.
