The Festival of Sails will still be buzzing with energy tomorrow, both on and off the water. A full day’s entertainment program will keep locals and families of visiting crews amused with the Chaparral water ski stunt show, Air Force Roulettes who will take to the skies, and music from popular The Voice contestant Fatai, as well as Aussie favourite, Diesel.

Water Ski stunt show manager Jan Dance says the shows will certainly keep those off the water surprised.

'People can expect a lot of different things, like a three-tier pyramid, girls on guys shoulders whilst skiing and maybe even a barefoot act.'

The Club Marine exhibition is where festival-goers can check out big toys such as Chaparral motorboats, which are on display over the weekend for those interested in seeing the amazing boats up close.

Fairnie Park is lined with food and market stalls all wrapped around the stage that will be the venue for entertainment. Meantime Eastern Beach will have Outrigger Canoes and beach volleyball as well as a newly revamped charity stand-up paddleboard event starting at midday with registration from 11am.
