Starting from 10.00am on the morning of Saturday, 11th Feb, the club will have training boats and instructors on hand for anyone wanting to experience small boat (dinghy) sailing. Children aged 10 and older with good water confidence are likely to benefit the most from the experience. Adults with reasonable fitness are also welcome and encouraged to participate. The club will provide all the necessary equipment, including boats and lifejackets (mandatory). Participants are asked to bring a hat and a change of dry clothes (dinghy sailing can be a wet activity!)

Sailing will be in the waters of the Clarence River immediately adjacent to the club, and parents, carers and friends are welcome to observe from the deck or grassed areas. The event will go for approximately 2 hours, with a target finish of 12.00pm. A canteen will operate throughout the morning and visitors are welcome to stay on and witness the normal club racing that commences at 1.30pm. 

Prospective participants are encouraged to register their interest, and or include any questions by emailing bigriversailingclub@gmail.com Doing so will allow the club to make contact should the event need to be cancelled due to extreme weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
