Australian Sailing - Dinghy: Discover Sailing Experience

Course information

Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club invites you to join us for a sailing experience on Sunday 22nd November. We're especially keen to welcome new women sailors, as an underserved cohort in our sport and we’re pleased to receive some support for this event from Australian Sailing.

No experience necessary, but you need to be able to swim 50m and climb into a boat.

No strings attached, just register online, bring some clothing that can get wet (including close-toed shoes) and we'll provide the boats, lifejackets, instructors and some lunch.

The event will be running from 0900 to 1400, with a BBQ around 1230. We'll have sailing sessions running through the day, each lasting around 30mins, as well as tours of the club and facilities.

If you have any questions, reach out to us via facebook, or at instructor@ljsc.org.au.
