New Sailing Courses Start October 24th 2020 – book now to secure a place.

At the Urunga Sail Training Club, you can discover sailing no matter what your ability. We are the only not-for-profit Australian Sailing (AS) certified Small Boat Sailing School on the NSW North Coast, teaching AS Start Sailing 1 & 2 in small boats on the Kalang and Bellinger Rivers at URUNGA (20kms south of Coffs Harbour).
The USTC is a family orientated club catering to all ages and abilities. Our Australian Sailing qualified instructors can teach you skills in how to rig and control a sailing vessel, read the wind and tides, and learn sailing techniques on the safe and beautiful waters of the Kalang and Bellinger Rivers.

Want to become a member:

You don’t even have to own a boat. The Urunga Sail Training Club has its own training boats and one of the benefits of membership to the Club is that you get to use them when they are not being used for teaching.

Our fully accessible facilities include: Some off-street parking, toilets, and changing facilities for persons of all abilities.

The Urunga Sail Training Club AGM was held on the 26th of September 2020 at 1 pm.

We always need more volunteers to assist with things behind the scenes like clerical, writing grants, helping on sailing days and fundraising, assisting in boat repairs, working bees, and social Sailing days. It is not a pre-requisite that you need to be a sailor as any assistance is gratefully appreciated. The current committee welcomes any new skills set that you can offer.

The club cannot survive without you, so get involved.

Membership fees are now due.

Australian Sailing membership expires on the 31st of October.

Attached are the new Membership forms for 2020-2021.

From January 1, 2021 Membership fees and Course prices will be increasing so renew or take up new membership now for the year.

You can also pre-book a Course for next year and pay before the expiry date – courses are held in February, April, and October.

Course Fees and Membership fees do not cover the cost of keeping the doors open for this Club. The USTC does not charge exorbitant course or membership fees because we would like sailing to be accessible to everyone.

Our membership fees entitle you to use the club’s facilities and boats when they aren’t being used for sailing lessons.
