Largs Bay Sailing Club Training Programs

 

Welcome to our Training Programs for the 2025/2026 season!

Firstly to those of you returning to Saturday morning training, we hope you had an enjoyable break over winter, and WELCOME BACK! Or, if this is to be your first season with us... WELCOME TO OUR CLUB! 

Our programs are professionally run by our volunteers and highly experienced, highly trained instructors. Sessions are designed to be informative, fun, inclusive, and self-paced. We do not push our sailors passed their comfort zone. At Largs Bay Sailing Club, we are family friendly, supportive and will work with each individual to help them reach their goals within the super fun sport of sailing.
