darcy1945 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 What do you sail and where, or what would you like to sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadiposestem Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I need to think it first. Actually it's my first time to deal with sailing and I really don't know where and what to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 The best place to start is at a local dinghy or catamaran club. Where are you located, we will suggest suitable clubs in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadiposestem Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Oh really? Can you tell me more on that placeS?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 If we knew where you are located, it would be easier to refer you to the appropriate club. To find one yourself, try using http://maps.google.com.au - enter the search term "sailing club" in quotes like that, and the name of your local waterway. The map will then display the locations of any sailing clubs there. - mouse over or click on the red place-marker, and contact details, website etc for the club will be available Alternatively, go to your state's Yachting organisation, and use their "club search" function. Yachting NSW provide this map: http://www.nsw.yachting.org.au/default.asp?Page=35252&MenuID=Clubs/1055/0/ Each of these sailing clubs are different, but are likely to include: - regular sailing races, supervised by experienced people on power boats who can quickly effect a rescue, if required - "try sailing day" 1st weekend in November each year, when any member of the public may try sailing with an experience skipper - sailing schools, to assist beginners make the first step into sailing. Some have more advanced schools for serious racers - a committee of volunteers, dedicated to helping people in their pursuit of sailing. Most regulars on this forum are on sailing club committees, a boat class association committee, or both For an example, please see the website of my local club, the Wallagoot Lake Boat Club: http://www.thebegavalley.org.au/wlbc.html I'm particularly proud of the Race Reports pages. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
