Congratulations on successfully completing your Start Sailing Course.

For those who wish to continue to sail, the Esperance Bay Yacht Club conducts training for junior sailors each Saturday morning throughout the sailing season. Club coaches and instructors run the training and it is free to all club members. Over the course of the season, some of the juniors who are new to sailing may take part in the afternoon’s racing program. The Club’s Pelican fleet is available for hire at very reasonable rates for newcomers to sailing or you may be able to crew for an experienced skipper.

For further information e-mail the Rear Commodore for Dinghies Simon Coxall on coxallsimon@yahoo.com.au
