Adults and Teens

If you're looking to learn how to sail in a safe and friendly environment, Start Sailing at Oxley Sailing Club is a great introduction to dinghy sailing for adults and kids over 12.

Aimed at beginners, this course teaches fundamental boat handling and essential safety skills using our fleet of Pacer dinghies. No prior sailing experience is necessary, however participants should be water confident.

We run Start Sailing 1 & 2 as a combined course over four successive Sunday afternoons, with one course in October-November and another in February-March.

Check the Calendar for our next Start Sailing 1 & 2 course, where you will find additional details and links for registration. (If you don't see a course in the Calendar yet, join the waiting list and we'll notify you when the dates are finalised.)

Cost - $400.  A $50 discount applies for additional participants in the same family. Use the code Additional_family_member at registration.

What to bring

You will need a hat, sunscreen, long sleeved shirt or rashie, enclosed shoes that can get wet, and a water bottle. We also recommend a towel and dry clothes to change into. OSC provides all equipment including life jackets.
