Fees

Registration Fee: $250, which includes the Australian Sailing Recognised Course fee and any RevSport Booking fees.

The Australian Sailing Course fee enables sailors to fully participate in the Australian Sailing programs, for their progress through the program to be followed, and attainment of recognition of the progress they have made. This also ensures that the numbers of participants at any time are appropriate for the level of supervision.

Once the program has commenced, the club will not be able to refund the course fee in the event that the sailor is unable to participate in the program.
