Winter coaching at Albert Sailing Club at Albert Park Lake is a great opportunity to continue sailing development over winter, learn to sail in shifty conditions and have fun with sailors from different clubs around Melbourne. Open, Intermediate and Greenfleet sailors. Albert Park Lake is more protected from strong winds and waves than the bays, and launching from Albert Sailing Club allows you to keep your feet dry. Mum and Dad can walk the dog around the Lake, go for a coffee, get to know other Opti families and wander through South Melbourne Market.

Winter coaching can be booked as 2 separate blocks - Block 1 is before the winter school holidays (May and June), Block 2 is after the winter school holidays (July to early September). Available to VIODA members only.
