The instructor will be with you at all stages, but will only be active when required, providing hints and reinforcing decision making. The rest is up to the team on the day.
A typical day will be charting a course for Manly and sailing back. At Manly we will anchor, have a short break for lunch then get going again. Those wanting a quick swim may do so.
