Learn To Sail

Training for Adults and Juniors
Since the mid-1940s MYC has developed a rich history of producing State, National and International champions. This tradition of sailing development will continue through the training program, which is designed for people who want to learn to sail so they can race or just have fun on boats with family and friends.

The training program is open to all age groups - for beginners and those who want to brush up on their skills.

The training fleet has been improved with the purchase and upgrade of Mirrors, a significant dinghy class in Western Australia. They're double-handed and ideal for learning to sail for youth/adult/child combinations.

Training is held between 10am and noon on Sundays, resuming 13th October 2019. Please be there at 9:30am to assist with rigging the club boats.

We welcome the assistance of all parents. For example, parents may like to help as a support boat driver, with junior training, or in the canteen.

0402 243 351, or email kennethpatterson5@bigpond.com.

Bronze Fleet

The Bronze Fleet is for sailors who have completed the Learn to Sail course, or have previous comparable sailing experience. It is held alongside the Sunday morning Learn to Sail Fleet and participants must take out a Training category club membership.
Bronze Fleet sailors may be invited to join the Silver Fleet after demonstrating the skills and competency necessary for racing. Or if you have had some sailing experience previously and would like to reacquaint yourself with the sport, you are welcome to join the bronze fleet at Maylands.

To enrol in Bronze Fleet training, please phone Doug Pianta on 0437 493 013.

Please note that Bronze Fleet sailors need to join the club on a Training membership - click here for the form.

Racing

Once you feel competent in managing a small sailing boat, a new dimension of fun awaits you.

You do not need to be an expert to begin racing. The handicap system of scoring makes it possible for

less-experienced sailors to win a race. Racing means learning and improving skill levels.

Racing begins at 2pm on Sundays. Most events are finished by 4pm and a social get-together is then followed by a short presentation ceremony held about 5.30pm to recognise placegetters in each fleet.
