Bronze Fleet:

Sailors who have completed the Learn to Sail course, or have previous comparable sailing experience can join the Bronze Fleet. It is run alongside the Sunday morning Learn to Sail Fleet and prepares sailors for racing conditions, as well as more advanced skills.

Bronze Fleet sailors may be invited to join the Silver Fleet after demonstrating the skills and competency necessary for racing. Please email us or speak to the coaches on Sunday morning for more information.

Sailors are coached on Mirror dinghies (2 in a boat), and ultimately learn to sail a marked course. The Club also has Lasers and Minnows if it is appropriate for the trainee. Sailors must be able to swim 25m unassisted. We welcome the assistance of all family members. For example, parents or partners may like to help as a support boat driver, with junior training, or in the canteen.

Instructors hold Working with Children checks. Maylands Yacht club observes COVID safe practices.
