Want more opportunities to get on a racing crew? ⛵🏁

Learning to handle a spinnaker can make you a much more useful crew member and open the door to a whole new side of sailing.

Our practical Spinnaker Course will help you build confidence with the sail handling and teamwork involved in downwind sailing, including hoists, gybes and drops.

If racing is where you want sailing to take you next, these are exactly the kinds of skills you’ll want in your toolkit.

📅 Next course: 18 October
📍 Sydney Harbour

Learn the skill. Join the crew. See where it takes you.

👉 Contact Pacific Sailing School to book your place.

Every sailor was a beginner once. ⛵

They didn’t know all the terminology. They weren’t sure which rope did what. And taking the helm probably felt a little intimidating the first time.

Then they learned.

These are the moments we love seeing at Pacific Sailing School: Students getting hands-on, asking questions, making mistakes, figuring it out and gradually realising, “Hey, I can actually do this.”

You don’t need sailing experience to start.

You just need to get aboard.

👉 Ready to learn? Come sail with us.

Ready to add a little more colour to your sailing? 🌈⛵

There’s nothing quite like getting the spinnaker up, filling it with breeze and feeling the boat accelerate downwind.

Our Spinnaker Course is designed to give you hands-on experience with one of sailing’s most exciting (and useful) skills.

Learn how to work as a crew through hoists, trims, gybes and drops, with practical training on Sydney Harbour.

📅 18 October
📍 Sydney Harbour

If you’ve completed your crewing training and you’re wondering what to learn next, this could be it.

From training on Sydney Harbour to the J/24 World Championship. 🌍⛵

The work is well and truly underway.

Our PSS crews are back on the water, training towards the 2026 J/24 World Championship in Melbourne this November, building speed, sharpening manoeuvres and learning how to work together when every second counts.

For some of our sailors, the journey started right here at Pacific Sailing School.

Now? They’re training to race against some of the world’s best J/24 crews.

There’s plenty of work still to come, and we’ll be sharing the journey as we get closer to the start line.

The sailing makes a lot more sense when you understand the WHY. 🧭⛵

Why does the boat behave differently on each point of sail? What should you be thinking about before a manoeuvre? And how does all that theory connect to what you’re actually doing onboard?

Our Theory & Social Evenings are a relaxed opportunity to work through the theory behind your Keelboat courses with PSS instructors and ask all those questions that come up after a day on the water.

Then comes the social part: drinks, food and time to get to know your fellow sailors. 🍷

Becoming a sailor isn’t just about lessons. It’s about becoming part of a sailing community.

👉 Come along, email [email protected] to book your complimentary spot!

Pacific Sailing School is looking for passionate RYA Instructors to join our Sydney Harbour team.

Some holidays you remember. Others make you rethink how you want to travel. ⛵🌅

This is life on a Pacific Sailing School Sailing Holiday in Croatia.

Wake up somewhere beautiful. Swim before breakfast. Set sail for the next island. Explore a coastal village, find somewhere local for dinner, then finish the day back onboard beneath the stars.

No rigid itinerary. No hotel hopping. Just 14 days experiencing the Dalmatian Coast the way it was made to be explored: by yacht.

This is exactly why we run our Sailing Holidays twice a year.

And if these photos are giving you ideas… just wait.

🌴Tahiti & Seychelles are up next in 2027.
