The Club launched the Sailing Academy in 1993 to promote and develop sailing in Wellington. As a full-time professionally run sail training facility, the Academy provides a unique resource to the Wellington region. The Academy operates from its rooms on the Clyde Quay Boat Harbour, at 115 Oriental Parade, and the two Muir 8.2 metre keelboats, purpose-built for sail training, are berthed right outside the door. This step-on, step-off facility maximises sailing time. Accommodating ages 8 to 80 plus, the Academy has experience in running an innovative and comprehensive range of sailing options. An increasing number of organisations have been making use of the Academy to provide Team Building exercises. Some of the key requirements in the sport of sailing are communication and teamwork, making sailing the ideal vehicle to bring out the essential qualities needed in a successful team. Several hundred participants have now undertaken corporate sailing activities through the Academy. These activities range from social sailing through to fully structured professionally facilitated team building sessions. The Sailing Academy - promoting and developing sailing in Wellington. |
