Yacht Racing Social Session

Code: SBS822
  1. Valid for 12 months
  2. Free exchange

Yacht racing involves an afternoon of fun and excitement on board a fleet of luxury yachts to take part in the popular Saturday Social race. This is a great opportunity to put your skills to the test and be part of a crew as we race around the natural landmarks in the harbour.

Yacht racing is serious business and requires much organisation. Assembly is at our base from 12.45pm. Upon registering you will be allocated to the yacht for the afternoon. After the general briefing at 1.00pm participants will board the yachts and receive a short safety briefing from the skipper.

Yachts then proceed to the starting area, usually Farm Cove next to the Opera House. Sails are hoisted and participants are given instruction on the crewing duties. All on board are encouraged to have a go trimming the sails and steering the yacht (subject to weather conditions). Alternatively, relax and enjoy the experience. During the race the yachts will be passing many famous landmarks, historic building, islands and beaches. Re-boarding back at the base is at approximately 4.00pm.

You can come on your own or put together your own team. No previous sailing experience is required.

    Wonderful sailing experience, especially for a novice. Skipper was very patient and supportive as we battled our way among the many other yachts on the harbour.
