Keelboat Theory and Social
This the perfect opportunity to come along and meet the team at Pacific Sailing School and ask any questions you may have of our Australian Sailing and/or RYA Instructors.
Sailing is a social sport and this is a great way to meet new people and find out if our programs work for you.
The presentation usually goes for about 90 minutes, after which you have an opportunity to mingle with new friends and our Team.
At the CYCA we invite you to join us after the presentation for dinner (own cost) with drinks courtesy of PSS. If at RANSA, our sister club, we will provide BBQ snacks to go with your after presentation drinks.
