If you’re looking to develop your offshore racing skills, the Pacific Sailing School is providing an ideal platform with an offshore training program for the CYCA’s upcoming Short Haul Pointscore.

Positions are available to train and race on Past Commodore John Cameron’s Dibley 46 More Witchcraft for the pointscore, starting from $229 per day.

The crew positions are open to Keelboat Start Helming graduates or above, with Terry Wise and his Pacific Sailing School team offering a great introduction to crewing on big boats.

Interested sailors can sign up for single races or the entire series, which includes up to four training days and 12 races (featuring an overnighter in Pittwater).

A Racing Rules evening will be held on Monday 19 September, as well as social evenings and a prizegiving dinner.

Those who sign up for the season will train in three different positions and be introduced to other crews, with the aim to secure crew positions on other boats by the end of the season.

Past Commodore Cameron said: “I am delighted to be associated with Terry and Pacific Sailing School in providing offshore race training for young people on my yacht More Witchcraft. Over the years, I have seen many Pacific Sailing School graduates become Club Members, boat owners and crew.”
