Provider overview
Liquid Edge Sailing School courses, location and services
Liquid Edge Sailing School teaches small groups from its Balmain base, giving students experience on both a monohull and a cruising catamaran. The IYT pathway runs from try-sailing and crew skills through International Crew, Flotilla Skipper and Bareboat Skipper to Coastal Yachtmaster. ICC assessment, VHF radio, docking, man-overboard practice and private own-goal training make it particularly relevant to couples, boat owners and future charter skippers.
Best for: Couples learning short-handed sailing, new yacht owners, overseas-charter crews and students who want both monohull and catamaran experience.

Before you book
Questions to ask Liquid Edge Sailing School before booking

- How many students per instructor, per boat?
- What boat will I actually be on, and how old is it?
- Is the instructor's qualification current, and what else do they hold?
- How many hours are on the water, as distinct from total course hours?
- What happens if the weather cancels a day — reschedule, credit or refund?
- Will I get a signed logbook entry with miles and night hours?
- Is the certificate included, or an extra fee?
- What's the assessment — continuous, or a test at the end?
- What's the next course, and how long should I sail before taking it?
Worth checking first
Advanced certificates require qualifying experience and sea time. Confirm whether your course is on the monohull or catamaran and what is included in ICC assessment.
