our yachts
J24's, Racing yachts, monohulls & catamarans
Pacific Sailing School has a fleet of yachts available for both Australian Sailing (AS) and Royal Yachting Association (RYA) courses.
The J24 is the World’s most popular one-design keelboat. We choose to use them for teaching as they allow students to get hands on experience in multiple positions, with the Instructor in hearing distance at all times.
We have five J24’s available for Harbour Lessons and Team Building Events and an additional J24 kept on the hardstand for Harbour Racing and J24 Championships.
Our Racing Yacht is utilised for Friday Twilights, Winter Racing and Offshore Training, with our Monohulls and Catamarans predominantly used for RYA courses. These are also available for Team Building Events (page coming soon).

"Myself and the crew of the Winning Appliances completed the World Sailing Safety and Sea Survival course prior to this year’s Sydney to Hobart race. Terry was highly professional and the course was extremely valuable, as it helped everyone to understand their responsibilities and practice strategies and procedures to prevent and address emergencies at sea. I would highly recommend this course and Terry Wise to anyone considering doing an offshore race"
We have made so many friends out on the water on their excellent range of boats with instructors Terry, Gardo, Phil and Damien – not to mention great introductions in the CYCA. They have recently assisted with great advice as we purchased and renovated our Marten 49 cruiser-racer. Later in the year – I need to come and do the theory for Coastal / Ocean Yachtmaster.
All of this wouldn't have been possible without my Aussie sailing family and friends through the advice, support, introductions, and generally making sailing so much fun. Thank you!! 😘
