About the KISS and KISS Alive programs
KISS is a 14-week introductory program to keelboat sailing developed by women for women. The Program has been running for 4 years. Our Alumni have learnt new skills on and off the water, with many sailing and racing regularly. The Program will not be offered during 2027 this will allow our Alumni to hone and consolidate their skills either by taking in part in activities and training at their individual clubs or signing up for the many courses the ORCV offer.
The ORCV courses are:
- Beyond The Bay

- Weather
