Pacer Pathway Program 2023 (adults and teens)
23rd October - 26 November 2023
Continue your sailing adventure! WSC Pacer Pathway Program
This program is designed to help people on their sailing journey get the skills to confidently sail on their own - whether the aim is cruising or working towards racing. The program is for people who have completed the WSC Adult Learn to Sail program (or have equivalent competencies) but most importantly those are keen to continue their sailing adventure in a fun, supported environment.
The Pacer Pathway Program provides briefings, tips and on-water support and coaching to help you build your skills and knowledge. Prior to launching on the first on water session, we will provide tips on how to launch and return to the ramp safely! The program starts with an evening information session and then 5 on-water sessions held on Sunday mornings from 9.30am to 11.30am.
