Gday, I'm a 21 year old living on the Gold Coast. I've been watching lots of videos on sailing and I've got the bug.

The local yacht club offers basic 3 days courses, will that give me enough experience to then buy my own trailer sailor?

Do the course Join the club and get to know the local guys who race TSs out of Holywell, they will teach you heaps and help you when it comes to buying your boat. Social racing is a great way to get to know your boat.

Hi Reece

Welcome to the forum

I reckon after 3 days you should know the basics and be ok

the trailer sailor forum is a good place to visit for information on them www.trailersailerplace.com.au/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=2
