Give your students a unique
experience sailing on
Wellington harbour with the
RPNYC Sailing Academy. The
RPNYC Sailing Academy, based
in Oriental Bay, are experts
at getting novices out on
the water. We offer a range
of programs from 2 hour
taster sails right through
to full NCEA or Coastguard
boating education accredited
courses. With 6 keel boats
right at the door we have
the ability to get up to 42
students and 6 adult helpers
on the water at any one
time.
All sessions include a short
safety briefing, followed by
gearing up and getting out
on the water. The focus of
the sessions is having
students actively
participating in sailing the
boat – including steering,
adjusting and raising sails,
and of course having fun.
The RPNYC Sailing Academy
employs professional,
Yachting New Zealand
accredited instructors and
all of our boats are part of
the Maritime Safety
Authorities Safe Ship
Management program, ensuring
a high level of safety. We
also have a full risk
management policy available
on request.

All sails include an
instructor, boat
hire, use of Musto
wet weather gear and
lifejackets. Sails
are charged at a
rate of $125 per
boat per hour, with
a minimum
recommended session
time of 2 hours.
Each boat can take
up to 7 students,
equating to $18 per
hour per student,
and one adult
helper. An adult
helper is required
for all boats with
students under the
age of 16. Sessions
can be run in almost
any weather
condition, although
on particularly
windy days sailing
may be replaced by
motoring around the
inner harbour. In
such situations,
groups will be
offered the choice
of rescheduling. |
