Wellington Ocean Sports is a keelboat sailing school at 115 Oriental Parade in Haywards, Lower Hutt, on the Wellington waterfront. Its courses start with a Learn to Sail Keelboats course, which needs no experience and is for people aged 16 and over. The course is 28 hours of classroom and on-the-water learning, and ends with a Yachting NZ Level 1 Introductory Keelboat Sailing Certificate. It is offered as four consecutive weekend days, four-day blocks over public holidays, or evening courses two nights a week for five weeks. Follow-on courses are Racing Crew and Cruising Crew, and there is a two-day course for racing and regatta sailing. Participants need a Learn to Sail course or a verified referral before joining. The school says it provides yachts, wet weather gear and safety gear. Summer courses are listed on the website, and some dates are fully booked, with a waitlist by email.
