Course Outline

Our tutors work hard to develop a course each semester that fits the needs of the cohort and exposes the students to a range of sailing disciplines. 

A typical semester will include: 

• A minimum of 18 days on the water, 9 each term. 
• Centreboard dinghy sailing, the Academy owns or has access to a range of dinghies including 420’s, 29ers and Lasers. 
• Keel boat sailing in the Bay of Islands. 
• An overnight trip. 
• A sailing adventure on an actual Americas Cup Yacht, take the helm, steer a course, hoist and trim the sails.
  

Motivated students are also encouraged to take part in the wider school sailing programme as well as getting involved in local racing and national regattas.
