Volunteer Trainers
The Learn-to-Sail classes are run by very experienced volunteers who have vast experience with sailing and yachts.
Many of them have their own yachts and sail in local races. All volunteers must have a current NSW Working With Children NSW Accreditation.
The fees for classes at Callala Junior Sailing School are very low because of the use of volunteers for all training. Sponsorship is also very important for supporting the club and its fleets of training vessels.
