These programmes are an excellent introductory to paddling and sailing. You don't have to own a boat. Royal Akarana Yacht Club owns different kinds of boats in which certified coaches teach you to paddle or sail. The boats that we have are:
· Optimist for sailors age 8+
· RS Feva and Cadet for age 11+
· 420 for age 13+
· Surf Ski for paddlers (no sailing) age 13+
· Platu 25 keelboat for age 15+ and adults
· Flying Fifteen for 15+ and adults
FOR EVERY PROGRAM WE NEED A MINIMUM OF 6 ENTRIES
Discounts for multiple entries
Multiple entries from the same family 5%
RAYC member's discount 10%
Group bookings of 4 sailors or more 15% (only when paid as one lump sum payment)
The discounts don't add up: if you enrol 6 of your children and you are a family club member, you'll get 15% discount.
RAYC provides half day holiday programmes (9am-12pm) sailing and half days paddling. These programmes are not Learn to Sail courses but meant as an introductory to sailing an Optimist, a Cadet (RS Feva as soon as the new boats arrive), a 420 or an introductory to paddle a Surf Ski. The programme is set up to only sail or paddle and no other activities (the weather permitting of course).
RAYC provides full day holiday programs, a combination of kayaking/paddling, sailing, island adventures, RIB rides, picnic on Rangitoto, relay races and other water sports activities. The paddling is for 13 year olds and older, the younger ones will go kayaking. If you can't choose between sailing and paddling or if you want to try both, you can come to the full days programme and we’ll make sure you will have fun, all out of the RAYC. You can enrol for 2 weeks as well and we'll make sure you don't do the same programme as the first week.
