All of the courses set from the Abel Point Marina at Airlie Beach. Before you board ship and take to the tropical waters there will be an in depth orientation and safety briefing. As you sail from one island anchorage to the next there will be a good mix of theory and practical sailing. The yacht itself will be your classroom – it will be modern, speedy and small enough for all the students to have a very hands on experience – beginner or experienced.
You must be a minimum of 18 years of age, maximum decided on a participant by participant basis.
