Sailing school

Brightreach Sailing: A sailing school website, built from one brief.

A Hobart sailing-school website that compares introductory, refresher, and private sessions. Prices and group sizes sit beside the skills practiced, with a preparation page explaining departure windows and what to bring. An inquiry form gathers experience, participant numbers, and the preferred date.

The brief

The starting brief.

This brief guided the design and content. Compare its goals and details with the website and page previews below.

Purpose
Help adults choose an introductory sailing session or a returning-sailor refresher and arrange time on the water.
Audience
Hobart residents and visitors curious about sailing, and adults returning to it after a break.
Tone
Clear, grounded and inviting. Describe the pleasure and practical learning of sailing without heroic adventure language.
Key facts
  • A Hobart sailing school for adults, offering small-group sessions on the River Derwent in a skippered keelboat.
  • First Sail is a three-hour introductory session at A$145 per person with up to four participants. It introduces the boat, steering, basic sail handling and working together on board.
  • Skills Refresher is a three-hour session at A$165 per person with up to four participants. It suits adults with previous sailing experience who want to revisit steering, tacking and sail trim.
  • Private introductory sailing is A$520 for a three-hour session for up to four adults. Prices include GST, instruction and supplied lifejackets.
  • Usual departure windows are Friday 1 pm, Saturday 9 am and Sunday 9 am. The school confirms the date, meeting point and conditions directly. If weather changes the plan, the school contacts the group to arrange another suitable session.
  • Wear closed-toe non-marking shoes and bring a warm layer, waterproof jacket, sun protection and water. The team sends preparation details before sailing.
  • An enquiry collects name, email, session interest, number of adults, broad experience and preferred date. No medical data, minors' details, licences or formal certification claims. No named marina partnership or boat make supplied.
