Sunday October 23 is National Discover Sailing Day. This great initiative by Australian Sailing, is run by individual accredited yacht clubs around Australia. TYC, Deviot, and PDYC will all host events to connect with the community and show how fun and accessible sailing is for people of all ages and abilities. Deviot and PDYC will have a variety of sailing vessels available for people to try between 10am-4pm while Tamar Yacht Club will sail out of the Seaport Marina’s public pontoon (opposite Mud Restaurant) from 4:30pm-6pm and everyone is welcome to join a leisurely afternoon sail on the safe and stable keelboats. No bookings are required and all safety equipment is provided by the clubs.
