Course information

Registrations for this course are closed.

Welcome & please note the dates have changed for your Start Crewing course. I'm looking forward to getting you started on your course over two days.

A little about me, I am just finished sailing over 8000 miles in the last four years with trips to Cape York, the outer Barrier Reef, Solomons and Vanuatu. In between I have been teaching these courses as well as the Start Helming course.

Here's a little homework, it'll be great if you can learn the parts of the boat and parts of the sails as a starter... https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/cups/austsailclubs/files/h8sk9ousxfjwhnlt.pdf

You will get a hard copy of this introduction to keelboats at the course or you can get it from the office beforehand.

It'll be gread to share the weekend with you. - Hew
