Double Handed Sailing at Mornington YC
Fast. Technical. Teamwork at its best.

If you’re ready to go sailing in  the bigger and faster 420 and 29er classes, MYC’s Double Handed Program is your launchpad.
From September 2025 – September 2026, we’ll run  action-packed sessions that blend technical coaching with real racing experience. It’s the step that transforms good sailors into great sailors.

What’s Involved

• Winter Training Camps, keep your edge in the off-season.
• Summer Training Blocks (Term 1 & Term 4) – build momentum when the breeze is best
• Midweek After-School Sessions Term 1 and Term 4 
• Sunday 9–11am Coaching before Racing, sharpen skills, then test them on the water.

Who It’s For

• Sailors at Level 6 of the Youth & Junior program
• Medium to advanced sailors hungry for more
• Anyone aiming for Australian Sailing Youth Classes

Why Double Handed?
Because this is where sailing gets really exciting:

• Speed – 420s and 29ers fly compared to Optis and Pacers.
• Skills – Jib, main, spinnaker, trapeze… you’ll master it all.
• Teamwork – Sail with a partner, learning the communication and trust needed for real racing.
• Pathway – Aligns directly with state, national and international youth sailing.

What You’ll Get Out of It

• Confidence under pressure – you’ll helm and crew
• A real competitive edge – technical racing skills that transfer to any class
• The thrill of fast, exciting racing every week
• A close-knit squad, where you’ll build friendships as strong as your sailing​

This is the next step. Faster boats, tougher skills, bigger goals.
Don’t just sail, race, learn and fly.

Please note, all sailors provide their own boats. However, we are happy to assist with this process as required.
