If you - or they - are anywhere close enough, tell your non-sailing friends! Southport Yacht Club on Queensland's Gold Coast will host a free 'Discover Sailing Day' at the Club’s Hollywell Sail Training facility, Sunday 30 March 2014.

The Discover Sailing Day is aimed at increasing public awareness in sailing, especially amongst children, promoting the message: Sailing is for Everyone – it can be cheap, simple, safe and fun!

The event is open to everyone, with children and adults given the opportunity to ‘go for a sail’, under the guidance of qualified instructors. Buoyancy vests and all sailing equipment is provided. Attendees will need to bring swimmers, hat, sunscreen, towel, old sandshoes and a desire to have fun!

Mum and Dad can relax under the Clubhouse patio whilst watching the kids sailing. Breakfast and coffees will be available from the Club’s Waterfront cafe from 7.30am.



The Discover Sailing Day commences at 9am and concludes at 1pm.

Hollywell Sail Training facility is located at 1 Marina Crescent, Hollywell on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

For more information please contact Southport Yacht Club's Hollywell Sailing Squadron on 07 5537 7030 or sailing@southportyachtclub.com.au

But no matter where you are, there is probably a club near you that has a 'Discover Sailing Day'. Encourage your non-sailing friends to discover the joy of being on the water, and find a new leisure time activity to stay healthy and involved.
