Oakcliff accepts trainees with a wide variety of skill levels at a wide range of ages, from absolute beginner sailor to seasoned racer. What we look for is a drive to succeed. If you’re wondering if Oakcliff is right for you, don’t ask yourself, “Am I good enough?” Ask yourself, “Do I want it badly enough?” Trainees who are self-driven, organized, and motivated thrive in Oakcliff’s flexible training environment.
Our program schedules a mix of sailing, boat work, and physical training. We encourage trainees to get interested and show initiatives in their own projects. Have you discovered an interest in sailmaking? Or want to learn all there is to know about managing a sailing team or becoming a boat captain? We will make room in the program schedule so you can pursue your passions.
