Albert Park Lake is a safe and convenient environment to Learn to Sail and when your training is completed Albert Sailing Club offers weekly sailing each Saturday for social and competitive sailing. The club is open throughout the year and offers an active season in the winter months when many bay clubs are closed.

Albert Sailing Club offers Learn to Sail training for new Family, Senior, Student and Apprentice club members. There is no additional charge for this training; it is included with your first year’s club membership. When you join the club please advise if you wish to undertake the training and a link to the registration for the next monthly course will be sent to you.

If you are interested in learning to sail or have sailed in the past and would like to rekindle your sailing experience please come to our clubhouse on a Saturday morning and we will provide you with an overview of the club, the training options and details on how to join.
