No sailing experience is required to join this programme which runs over 2 courses of 8 sessions each. During introduction to sailing 1, sailors will spend all the sessions on our larger teaching boats with an instructor to learn how to helm a boat and other sailing basics.
When joining for another term, sailors will follow the introduction to sailing 2 course. Sailors will spend most of the sessions on single or double handed dinghies learning how to tack, gybe and follow a course around the marks. Sailors will be introduced to the rules of racing and be introduced to some race training towards the end of the course. On completion of both courses, adults will then progress to the club’s intermediate programme. In the case of kids, successful sailors will proceed to optimist and topper intermediate classes or join the Feva racing course with the club. Sailors who have not yet mastered the skills will be allowed to repeat introduction to sailing 2 for one more time.
Book for any of courses using the sportmalta booking form. Winter Term 1 starts in October, Term 2 in January and Term 3 in March. You may start sailing in any of the 3 terms as sailors will be split into course 1 and course 2. Summer on the move takes place from July to mid September with a break in santa Marija week. Adults are allowed to attend a maximum of 2 terms of this programme while kids can attend for a maximum of 3 terms. After this they will need to become members and register for the club courses.
