Company Profile

The beauty of sailing is that however much a sailor already knows, they never stop learning. The Derwent Sailing Squadron is proud to be home to SailTrain, a training centre of excellence that is accredited by both the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and Yachting Australia (YA).

A year-round calendar of courses is run by the training centre’s highly experienced and credentialed team of instructors, with the aim of helping the student attain qualifications that will make them a better sailor. All instructors are qualified through RYA or YA , and place an equal importance on the safety and comfort of the student and enjoyment of the course, all to create a perfect environment in which to learn.

SailTrain is the only training organisation in Tasmania that is accredited to deliver world-recognised RYA courses.
