2007 Learn To Sail Again Justin Hurst will be running the Learn to Sail programme. Every year Waiuku Yacht Club trains young sailors in the relatively safe calm waters of the Waiuku Sandspit. New Sailors are provided a boat, lifejacket and training, all the club requires in return is $50 for the season and parental support, especially when rigging, packing up the boats. For the last few years the training has culminated in a "cruise" to Clarks Beach, with the support of senior sailors, training and resuce boats. Over nighting at Clarks Beach Yacht Club and returning the next day. A great fun weekend, with a real sense of achievement for the young sailors. Learn to Sail starts on Sunday 28th of October. Please contact Justin Hurst if you are interested. ph 235 6161 Junior Coaching This year the club is providing on going coaching for its Junior sailors. Geoff Letcher will be facilitating a program that will continue throughout the season, developing boat handling, sailing and racing skills. This programme will be for sailors who have already completed Learn to Sail. This program starts on Saturday 27th of October, the day before Learn to Sail with Justin. |
