Our mission at Northbridge Sailing Club (NSC) is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals and families can learn, practice and enjoy sailing.

Our popular Family Learn to Sail (FLTS) course is designed for parents/guardians and their kids aged 7+ to learn the ropes together on beautiful Middle Harbour. Much like our iconic Live-in Summer Camp, it is an offering unique to NSC which you will find nowhere else in Sydney!

The course fee not only covers the initial program, but includes complimentary training for the entire duration of the season (until April 2026) for kids and adults alike, representing incredible value and a highly supportive pathway for your learning journey.

At the conclusion of the FLTS course, all participants will have the opportunity to integrate further into our friendly sailing community at NSC. Kids are encouraged to join the Junior pathways in an Optimist or a Flying 11, while parents can build experience in a Pacer, Laser, Tasar or NS14 in the Continuing Adult Trainee Sailor program, "CATS" - all at no extra cost. Or the whole family can combine forces and venture out onto the bay for weekly leisure sails. Whichever pathway floats your boat, you'll have vessels and training support available to you once you complete the course.

Our next FLTS course runs from 9am-4pm from the 3rd-6th October. Participants must come equipped with their own NON-inflatable life jackets (Whitworths, Zhik) and suitable water wear including a secure hat and long-sleeve rash vest for sun protection, water shoes, and a wetsuit if it's cold (boardshorts or swimming leggings are fine otherwise).

Cost:

• $900 for the first 2 family members
• Plus $200 for each additional immediate family member (siblings + parents/guardians)

In addition there is a mandatory family membership fee of $530 which includes Australian Sailing registration for whole family and entitles you to all the benefits of NSC membership until April 2026.  Examples of total cost for the course and membership:

• Family of two $1430 ($530+$900)
• Family of three: $1630 ($530+$900+$200)
• Family of four: $1830 ($530+$900+$400)
