Racing Courses & Clinics
Attain New Skills & Improve Quickly
Courses
Yachtpro Racing Courses are somewhat unique as they are booked on a crew basis.
This enables a cohesive unit to be developed quickly and enhances your progress through the racing fleet when you return home.
Our racing courses are designed to give you the yacht handling skills and theoretical knowledge to race in safety and confidence at your chosen level of proficiency. They progress from Club Racing to the involved responsibilities of the Offshore Racing.
Courses are formatted to ensure that you reach your goal but also have a lot of fun while you do it.
Many of our past students have sailed in major Inshore and Offshore events which is testament to our training methods.
Crew Numbers
Day Racing Minimum: 3 Maximum: 6
Inshore Racing Minimum: 3 Maximum: 6
Offshore Racing Minimum: 4 Maximum: 6
Yachtpro 's racing courses comply with the highly regarded and well proven Yacht Racing Syllabus of the Australian Yachting Federation.
We do require that participants in our Racing courses hold the parallel Cruising qualifications as the racing courses deal solely with performance elements and not with seamanship aspects dealt with in cruising.
