This course is run on Friday nights in conjunction with Club Twilight racing, allowing participants to be part of the fun and social atmosphere at the club while getting a lot of time on the water.

For our new members, this course will count as 2 of your new member training programs. 

For all other members, the course cost is $720 for 7 sessions (a discount on what is typically offered).
