Milecatchers and Racing

                 

Milecatchers are a great way to gain invaluable experience and logged sea miles. Our school conducts Milecatchers up and down the East coast of Australia throughout the year, they vary in length and duration and can be customised to suit the student.

If you are interested in a Milecatcher cruise, drop us an email with information regarding dates, time frame, miles to be achieved and the number of people and we will schedule it to suit you.

               

Race training is a great way to increase your skill level for either racing or cruising. The Whitsundays have various races every year, including The Airlie Beach Race Week, Hamilton Island Race Week, The Dent to Dunk Race, The XXXX Round the Whitsundays Race as well as Twilight races held every Wednesday afternoon.

We can train either individuals or entire crews in the following:

Sail Trim - to get the best performance from your sail wardrobe.
Spinnakers - techniques in launching, trimming, gybing and retrieving
Teamwork - getting the most out of your crew
Tactics - starting, wind shifts, VMG and rules
Strategy - for a race, a series or a regatta
Navigation - going the right way on longer races
Weather Routing - taking the guesswork out of "maybeology"

If you are interested in gaining racing experience, drop us an e-mail and we will arrange it.
