Come sail, chill, connect & enjoy the water! 🌊⛵☀️

🧭 What’s it all about?

Join the Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project crew for a relaxed morning of social sailing on Newcastle Harbour.

These sessions are designed to bring veterans, family members and local sailing supporters together in a welcoming environment where connection comes first. Whether you want to get out on the water, meet new people, or simply enjoy a coffee by the marina, everyone is welcome.

No sailing experience required—just a good attitude and willingness to get involved! 🙌
