Sailing

Learn to sail

During the Dry season, the sheltered waters of Fannie Bay are amongst the best places to learn Sailing. Our Yachting Australia qualified instructors teach Sailing and Windsurfing for all ages and all levels. A big part of the training dinghies and windsurfing equipment has been renewed since 2010, the instructors are proud to welcome you in the very best conditions. Please find a summary of our Sailing & Training activities.

Social Sailing

Crab Claw Island week end, Sand Bar Barbecue sailing, Micah Beach, or Twilight Sail on Fridays, don't miss out opportunities to go on water! New dinghies for hire!

Racing

We usually race on Weekends in the Dry season (After Easter to November) and have a twilight sail on Friday evenings as well. Races vary from around the buoys courses, harbour courses or offshore courses. Come down to the Club and ask about crewing opportunities.
