Emerging Talent Coaching Clinics
February
In a NEW 2019 initiative, we are coming to Lake Macquarie for two weeks in February! For TWO WEEKS ONLY we will be conducting on-water coaching clinics in our fleet of identical Force 24 keelboats.
Join the Youth Keelboat Program
May to September
The Club’s new fleet of Elliott 6s and existing fleet of Force 24 inshore keelboats offers developing and experienced sailors from the Hunter & north coast regions the opportunity to receive professional coaching and quality competition in inshore keelboat racing. The program also aims to provide valuable experience and transition opportunities from dinghies into keelboats for both fleet and match racing.

The regatta will be raced in our new fleet of Elliott 6 inshore keelboats and aims to attract the talented youth sailors of our region.
