What to expect
On arrival, follow the signs for Veteran Sailing SA and meet the group. After a safety brief, we will collect life jackets and sails before heading down to prepare the boats for the water. We will then head out for around 90 minutes of sailing before returning to dock and pack the boats up. We will debrief afterwards over a sausage sizzle and refreshments; a great chance to socialise and share your experience.

What to wear
Be sun smart! Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide.
We recommend a long sleeve shirt, a hat that you don’t mind losing (it can get windy!) and ideally some non marking shoes (eg. Dunlop Volleys). Some gloves can be beneficial for windy days to avoid rope burn, gardening gloves work fine.
A spray jacket is handy to have during the colder months.
Always bring a change of clothes in case you get wet, the change room facilities at the club are top notch.
