The Manning River Sailing Club offers courses to suit people of all
ages. Sailing can be a family sport and as such, families are encouraged
to attend. It should also be noted that these courses are not just for
existing sailors or locals.
Tuition is also available for sailors wishing to further their current
knowledge.
Courses are conducted in a safe, inland river environment with a variety of
suitable boats used.
Upon completion of the course, each participant will receive an official
certificate stating that they have completed the course.
Compared to other courses offered, the rates are very reasonable and
arrangements can be made for disadvantaged persons and for families
in which a number of members participate in the course.
For the course, each participant will need to bring:
....o A change of clothes
....o Sunscreen and hat
....o Old shoes or rubber boots for sailing
to stop cut or bruised feet
....o A few water bottles. You can get
very thirsty whilst sailing.
....o Towel
....o Wetsuit (if possible) or a warm jumper
and spray jacket.
....o Board shorts or swimmers.
....o A Snug Fitting Life Jacket (approved
to Australian Standards) - if you do not have a lifejacket, you can
rent one from the club each day.
Note: It is strongly recommended that items of significant value not
be brought as these can be easily lost, stolen or damaged.
The Manning River Sailing Club is located behind KFC, next to the Rowing
Club.
