Do I need to be a member to join the Learn to sail programme at Wakatere?
Yes membership is required. Wakatere is a members club with an annual subscription.
However, for all our entry level Learn to Sail courses a special LTS Invitational Membership is already included in the course fee.
If you want to continue to the next level after your LTS course has finished, you can upgrade to a full membership at that time. More about membership
