Northside's Sister Sailing Centre
Ever wondered what the Northside staff do during winter when the sailing school is shut? While many are at uni and use Northside as a part time job, many of us are full time, year round sailing instructors. Given we can't stay in Sydney during the winter to work, it means we need to jet set around the world and work in the Northern Hemisphere over the winter months. If you have read through the instructor page you'll see there are many locations in which our instructors have been to, but you'll notice one place popping up alot, with staff going back and forth almost every year. That location is the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall in the South West of the UK.

 were in the Med or the Carribean. With sailing, windsurfing and kayking the two bases are completely flat out during the peak of summer. Idealic sunshine and perfect sailing conditions make all of our instructors itching to get over there for a summer or a few more if they fancy. And instructors then repay the favour by coming and working a summer in Sydney at Northside.
