Give Sailing a Go
Fremantle Sailing courses for adults use sailing boats up to 10m long which allow participants to learn to sail on stable yet responsive vessels. The crew is composed of 3 to 5 participants, together with an Australian Sailing accredited instructor, so all participants can experience and master all roles on board. Teamwork is essential and allows for participants of all fitness levels to learn to sail. These vessels are called Sport Keelboats for a reason though, more experienced crews will soon find out that these vessels are fun and fast!
