SAILING EXPERIENCE

The RŪNĀ sailing experience typically has two parts although there is flexibility to discuss with your provider how you want the day to flow. Most providers will split each group of up to 30 students into two groups.

For Kōkōkaha the first group goes sailing to experience the power of the wind while the second group undertake a set of hands-on challenges to introduce them to some of the technologies used in sailing.  For Kōrinorino the first group goes sailing to feel like Kupe or Cook while the second group get acquainted with Kāpehu Whetū  the Māori Star Compass and use it to find items of local history. The groups swap for the second half of the day. The hands-on challenges are lead by the classroom teacher while the sailing experience is facilitated by RŪNĀ kaiako.

The files below provide access to risk management forms, permission slips and activities used during the day. Your provider will also give you copies of these when they arrange the sailing experience with you, and will take you through how the hands on challenges are to be delivered.
