About the KISS program

Now in its 4th year, KISS is a 14-week introductory program to keelboat sailing developed by women for women.

This is a jargon-free zone, we do our best to present our sessions in plain speak and in bite size pieces. 

During the program you will be matched with a boat and a team of other aspiring keelboat sailors. Together you will learn new skills on and off the water to give you the confidence and experience to take your sailing journey to the next level.

Whether you want to cross mighty oceans, race on the Bay or take your own boat on an adventure, you will come away from this program with a raft of new knowledge and a sense of belonging. 

All women are welcome. You just need to be interested in starting to sail and be keen to learn new skills in sailing. 

Join us in April when the 2026 program begins.
