Sailing Lifts Your Spirits
Event information
If you are a First Responder or a Healthcare worker, we would love to have you come and experience Sailing Lifts Your Spirits at Royal Brighton Yacht Club. This is a free event and our way of saying Thank You!
There is no need to know how to sail, as experienced sailors will take you aboard their boats where you might learn some nautical terms "me hearties", maybe get a chance to take the helm or simply relax and enjoy coming along for the ride.
We meet at the far end of the pier at 5:00 pm where you will be welcomed by one of our Shore Crew and asked to scan your e-ticket.
You will be pointed to your Crew meeting point and then will head off down the marina to your yacht for the sailing experience.
On board, you will be given a Personal Floatation Device (PFD, usually called Life Jacket in the old days) and your Sailing Lifts Your Spirits skipper will give a Safety Briefing. Then the on-water part of your experience really gets underway as you drop lines and clear out of the marina.
All too quickly, for most of you anyway, you’ll be back alongside and we all head up to the Yacht Club where there will be a barbeque dinner available and lots of connecting with your community. There will be time for some salty sea stories and a few words about Wellbeing ... after all, that’s why we invited you to join us :).
