Training Programs

The Club conducts and facilitates a wide range of  training programs, ranging from an introduction to sailing, right through to more advanced sail tuition, race management and powerboat operation.  All activities are governed by our Safety Management Plan and all formal training is under the supervision of a registered Australian Sailing (AS) qualified instructor.

Sailing Tuition

We offer a range of  options to suit all needs!

We have a large variety of club boats that are available for tuition, if you don’t have your own boat.
These include Minnows, Vagabonds, Lasers, Arrows, O’pen Skiffs, Pacers and Sailboards

Australian Sailing and Other Training Courses

  • There are many training courses available through Australian Sailing, for which the club does not have the trainers nor facilities necessary to provide. Details of such courses (including Instructor, Club Race Officer and Safety Boat Operator) can be found on the Australian Sailing Resources website. LCSC sponsors members to attend such courses in Brisbane at the Australian Sailing Qld base if required, and from time to time, they are also conducted at the Club by visiting AS Instructors.
  • Coaching may be arranged through the club or through Class Associations in conjunction with the club.
  • The club also conducts annual First Aid and CPI Courses and all members are encouraged to have keep their CPR and First Aid up to date.

Other Skill Development
(outside formal training)

In order to develop knowledge of Race Management, members are encouraged to participate in the running of races whilst they are rostered for boat duty. Learning what is involved in setting courses and running races is a strong precursor to attending courses and then puts into practice, skills learned at the courses.

Mentoring is conducted for members rostered for boat duty or for any other members wishing to learn these new skills, which include basic powerboat launching & retrieval, course setting, rescue & safety procedures, race starting and time keeping methods.

We are always interested in providing new courses, so if you need to learn something relevant to club activities, let us know.
