Tuesday Twilights
Unlike other days of the week, on Tuesdays the Harbour is clear of other sailing events and provides a serene and spectacular setting. We regularly attract 30-35 boats per evening across the divisions which include Ladies non-spinnaker and spinnaker. These require a woman at the helm. After racing we enjoy drinks and dinner on the terrace overlooking the Harbour.

Learn to Sail
Our unique ‘Ladies of the Sea’ (LOTS) program takes place on Wednesday mornings on our fleet of Elliott 7 keelboats. These boats allow you to learn to sail without the fear of capsizing, and usually with several other students onboard and a friendly coach. As your skills progress, you will also develop an understanding of each person’s role and how teamwork plays a major part of being an effective crew. You should come away with the knowledge and confidence to sail a small boat competently, and for those that wish, you can progress to larger boats or participate as crew on a racing boat.
