Sailing Administration Try Out Day - Claremont Yacht Club

Come and learn about how to run a Sailing Race. It is pretty relaxed at Claremont Yacht Club. There will only be around 6-9 yachts out on the water, so it is an excellent opportunity to learn what to do. Come to the downstairs bar on the eastern side of the club house and ask for Robert. He will teach you everything you need to know. Dress warm and also sun smart as you can still get sunburned in winter. Bring a water bottle and a pen and pad to write notes. You basically sit in the start box and watch the yachts do their thing. You hit the horn and raise/lower the flags to tell the yachts what time to start, what course they are sailing, and then you mark down the finish times so we can work out who the winner is on handicap. Come earlier if you want lunch...and after sailing, come and have a drink with us in the bar. All welcome. No experience required...we will teach you all you need to know.
