Location
At The Spit, gateway to Sydney's Northern Beaches, about 20 minutes from the city centre. Training takes place on Middle Harbour, a quiet arm of Sydney Harbour with sparkling sheltered waters surrounded by white sandy beaches and beautiful parklands. Our office and main training base are at the Middle Harbour Skiff Club, a friendly club with great facilities in a stunning location. We also run a second training centre at Middle Harbour Yacht Club, a short walk down the road.

Boats
Our fleet of around 40 training boats includes the RS Feva, RS Vision, Optimist, Laser Radial, Laser 4.7, Stretched Laser, Envy and X3. All of our boats are specially set up and modified to our own custom specifications for sail training activities. We carry a full range of equipment to allow us to set up boat and rig combinations for each lesson to suit the requirements of the students and the conditions on the day. Rescue supervision for dinghy activities is provided by qualified experienced personnel operating fully equipped rescue boats that have outboard motors fitting with propellor guards.
