Cairns Yacht Club says try sailing
CAIRNS Yacht Club invited the community to enjoy a free sailing experience as part of the National Discover Sailing program on October 15, 2022.
People can attend by themselves or with a partner, friends or family to get a taste of what sailing is all about.
The National Discover Sailing program aims to encourage people to find out how fun, safe, accessible and affordable sailing can be.
The Cairns Yacht Club Commodore John Pool encouraged people to visit the club on October 15 between 10am and 3pm.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to welcome the community to our club and our sport,” Mr Pool said.
“We encourage anyone who has ever wanted to try sailing to come and have a look and enjoy a sail with an experienced club member or instructor.
“We provide all the instructors, boats and safety equipment, so all you have to do is come along prepared for a good time with a spare set of clothes, a hat and some sunscreen.”
Discover Sailing Day offers you the chance to go for a short sail with an experienced sailor, enjoy the club’s facilities, and learn about the great sailing courses available.
There are courses for young and old, aspiring sailors and experienced sailors. The whole family can get involved – kids as young as five can enjoy a sail with a parent or guardian.
“Our Discover Sailing Hosts can answer any questions about sailing, and our volunteers will ensure you have an enjoyable day at the club,” Mr Pool said.
“We recommend people book in advance to ensure they can get out on the water, but you can also register on the day.”
