Learn sailing and boating skills at SailTime Hobart
SailTime Hobart Sailing School due to open summer 2011
Sailtime Hobart provides a full range of training to both new and existing members. We can provide a number of YA courses. Additionally, we provide a number of experience days that will help you brush up on certain skills – whether you are a complete novice or an experienced sailor, SailTime has a training solution for you.
To enable you as a member or owner-member to sail alone and unassisted we require you to have reached the YA Inshore Skipper qualification (theory and practical). We strongly believe that this standard is the minimum that will enable you to feel confident in handling the boat and to enjoy your sailing with family and friends.
The ensuing professionalism of your sailing also helps to avoid unnecessary boating incidents that might otherwise result in the damage of the boat, spoiling the enjoyment of the SailTime experience for you and for others. Also, the owner-member knows that their boat is being sailed by select and competent members who undoubtedly will become seafaring friends.
Whilst you are working towards your YA Inshore Skipper qualification you can, of course, still sail. However, it is a requirement that you have onboard someone, guest or instructor, of Inshore Skipper standard or higher.
One of the benefits of SailTime is that you are able to use your sailing time to enjoy instruction on your own yacht rather than in a group situation onboard a basic and unfamiliar sailing school training boat.
Through one of the affiliated YA sailing schools we are able to provide you with professional quality training on your yacht to help you become a more confident skipper, regardless of your initial standard. Our programme gives you the flexibility to have a Sailing Instructor or Yachtmaster Instructor onboard for one-to-one tuition, group tuition, or simply as a companion to help build your confidence on a new boat.

History
The area was first explored by Bruni D'Entrecasteaux in 1792 and was settled in the early 1800s by timber cutters, whalers and sealers. Life was hard and the people who lived in the area rarely settled for long preferring the life in Hobart Town to the whaling stations and logging camps.
Today
Today the area is noted for its orchards (apples, cherries, pears) and Kettering has become an important service centre for the local farmers. Like so much of the area south of Hobart, both towns have become centres for commuters and alternative lifestyle dwellers who find the peacefulness suits them.
These tiny settlements are now the focus of marine activities. Kettering is the centre for fishing in the region. It has two major marinas, South Haven Marina and Oyster Cove Marina, as well as many smaller, privately owned jetties. Approximately 400 boats are located in Kettering whether on moorings or in marinas. The Bruny Island Ferry, Mirambeena, runs from Kettering numerous times a day.
Kettering has a thriving community involved in many artistic pursuits. There are many artists and crafts people living in Kettering and the Southern Channel. 2008 saw a local production of Under Milk Wood, presented as a radio play in the local Community Hall which was very successful. It also was at the centre of the Art Trail an event which included 3 exhibitions and 9 artists' studios opened to the public. The local Kettering Music Group have been organising 2 or 3 Chamber Music concerts Music concerts and a Jazz concert in July Jazz concert since 2004. The next Art Trail is planned for August 2010.
The Kettering and Oyster Cove Residents Group (KOCRES) is actively involved in a variety of community projects including the establishment of a community website.
Enjoy sailing on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel Have you ever watched a movie – probably a period romance or nostalgic film – and thought to yourself, 'Places like this don’t really exist!'? You know – where everything seems utterly perfect…lovely rolling hills, calm waters, flowers and trees everywhere…. Welcome to Kettering, 37 kms south of Hobart, nestled on the picturesque D'Entrecasteaux Channel and host to SailTime Hobart.
The centre for fishing in the region, Kettering has two major marinas, South Haven and Oyster Cove, as well as many smaller, privately owned jetties.

Marine Studies Centre The Commonwealth Government has established a Marine Studies Centre at Woodbridge (it is down on the water near the town jetty) which is specifically designed to cater for school children interested in marine biology and Kettering, with its Marina and its regular ferry service to Bruny Island, is becoming an important tourist mooring and departure point.
Woodbridge Hill Travellers wanting a short cut across to the Huon Valley can take the C627 and C626 through the mountains behind Woodbridge and Kettering. The C627 passes through the Woodbridge Hill area, a 400 ha park characterised by rainforest vegetation and the presence of the rare Bell Everlasting. Woodbridge Hill, which rises 580 m above sea level, is part of the mountain range which runs between the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and the Huon River.
Oyster Cove Inn The Oyster Cove Inn, which has views across the Kettering Marina, is one of those strange anomalies. It was originally built by a wealthy Queensland grazier who, presumably, preferred the cool tranquillity of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to the heat of his own state. Recently refurbished it is now a vibarnt, warm and welcoming destination for meals and refreshments after your day sailing
