Novice & Gold Racing

Sailing their own Manly Juniors (MJ), Flying 11 (F11), Spiral, Laser or 29er this is where the racing becomes the focus and more competitive ... but still with plenty of fun and mucking about.

Our Novice group is capable of getting around a smaller course in winds up to say maybe 15 knots.
There is nothing wrong however with picking the lighter breezes as skills improve.

Our Gold group can be very competitive with goals of winning State and or National Championships, Racing is conducted in upto 25 knots of breeze provided it is relatively safe.

Novice and Gold do mid week training and we employ professional coaches to help the learning but ...

there is heaps of skills and experience amongst the other sailors and parents, questions are normally welcome.

Often our Gold group do additional training and are involved in other types of sailing (school, teams, match, yachts or just other types of centreboarders)

Our Gold group also often assist as Instructors with our Blue, Purple & Red groups.

Expect to stay a full season in Novice

Gold you can stay in until you are ... oh about 80!
