Learning to Sail

New Plymouth Yacht Club runs sailing classes for juniors and for seniors. 

Junior Classes

Children between 9 and 14 years old are taught to sail at the Club. Enrolment is at the discretion of the sailing master.  Classes are taught in optimist dingies,  and 6 classes are scheduled over a 3 week period.  These classes cover the Yachting New Zealand stage 1 level.   Classes are held adjacent to the clubrooms at Ngamotu beach.

At the end of sailing classes juniors are encouraged to join junior racing on Saturday mornings where learners are given help in learning to race a yacht, and to really enjoy sailing.

Enquiries for  junior classes are to be made to Ann on (06) 758 7577

Senior classes

Adults/Youths from high school age to any age are taught to sail in the senior classes.  Classes are taken in Sunburst yachts, with  7 classes scheduled over a 3 week period, both in sailing theory,  and practical sailing around and outside the harbour at New Plymouth.
