Discover Sailing Day is FREE and is hosted jointly by the Port Macquarie Sailing and Yacht Clubs, along with Sailability. This are a fantastic way to have a great day out on the banks of our beautiful Hastings River, showing just how fun, safe, accessible, and affordable sailing is.
The local community or anyone else interested will have the option to go out for a short sail with an experienced sailor, have a look around the club facilities, and find out about the programs and sailing courses available. There will be something for the whole family and even kids as young as five years old can sail, when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
