Training FAQ's

Delivery Skippers Australia

White soled shoes (no black soles). Other than that, whatever you feel comfortable wearing normally for the current weather conditions. Sometime the wind can feel a bit chillier on the water, sometimes the sun is blistering and you might want those longer sleeves for protection

We are currently in beautiful Port Stephens, based out of the stunning Anchorage Marina, however we will be travelling around so just let us know where you would like to meet.

If you are asking it might be a concern. Sailing yachts though is a pastime that many take into their 70s and beyond. As long as you can walk around easily and fit through the companionway you should be fine. Let us know of any special conditions we need to be aware of.

If you are a couple with a child over 12 that you will take care of we are happy for them to enjoy the experience and train them too. 

Let us know where and we can discuss the possibilities
