Finding your Ideal Sailboat - Blog

Sailing in Lockdown

4/27/2020

At this time of year I usually teach sailing at Buckland Beach Yacht Club, and for Sailability Auckland, a great programme designed for people with disabilities.  My background is in Olympic sailing, and I still compete every year at the Womens' National Keelboat Champs. 

I have enjoyed some time off the water to get fitter and to put together learn to sail videos for you. I am passionate about getting people on the water and enjoying this amazing sport. 

If you want to take up a new challenge but you need a little inspiration and confidence to get on your sailing journey, please get in touch!

Videos: Learn to Sail: Steering and Learn to Sail: Wind Direction 

For your personal demonstration of a TIWAL or to find a dealer near you please get in touch here. 

And finally here are a few ideas to inspire you to get on the water! 

Check out last year's TIWAL Cup in France 

⛵️ Try Virtual Skipper or Virtual Regatta - a virtual programme where you can sail and race around the world!

And just for fun…

Some footage of 18 footers sailing in my favourite place in the world to sail …. Lake Garda, Italy…. https://youtu.be/mqNt7ajZtto

AND some footage of Sail GP in Sydney https://youtu.be/gbuoQHUc-Jk

Have fun, stay safe and see you on the water soon.

    I am a New Zealand sailor who learned to sail in the beautiful Malborough Sounds and then went onto represent NZ at the 2000 Olympics.
