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.
