Smooth Sailing School is run by two friends, Oscar and Tom, who sailed together as kids on Lake Hume in North East Victoria. They later moved to Melbourne for university and began working for Australian Sailing at The BoatShed at Albert Park Lake as sailing instructors. During this time, The BoatShed ran regional initiatives, using two trailers carrying 18 boats to yacht clubs, schools, and camps that could not facilitate the programs themselves.

When The BoatShed decided to divest from their regional programs and focus on their core activities at Albert Park Lake, Oscar and Tom stepped up and purchased the boats.

Smooth Sailing School is now the only company in Victoria offering mobile sailing programs, having run programs at 13 locations across the state. We continue to expand our operations across Victoria, bringing sailing to communities with limited access to the sport.
