25.01.2022 Our last Sunday course for 2012 starts tomorrow with a full compliment. It's anyone's guess what the weather will be like tomorrow, but if we are to believe 3 out of 4 Brisbane weather sources it should be a great day!

25.01.2022 Finished a learn to sail course but not sure what to do next? Join our Dolphins program Sunday mornings 9am to 11:30am.

So what are you waiting for? Rock up this Sunday!

15.01.2022 Our final day of our learn to sail was met with beautiful easterly breezes and balmy moderate temperatures. Ironically, our instructors learned the most important practical lesson today... In theory the answer to this problem is simple: What happens when you leave the bungs out of your boat, launch it, and then walk away for half an hour?

15.01.2022 Our first course for 2013 starts tomorrow. If you have missed out this time, we will be running regular programs throughout the year. Keep an eye out on our website and facebook for up-coming dates. Our next 6 week course is penciled in to start Sunday 24 March.

14.01.2022 To those who may have been just watching a dodgy sequel to a certain Spielberg shark film... let the records show that no person has ever been taken from a sailing boat.

04.01.2022 I'm going to take it as a compliment that we had several kids upset by the decision to cancel sailing last Sunday. I'm also going to direct all negative comments regarding this decision to Huey.

03.01.2022 Week 5 of our learn to sail course and our students are starting to take charge of the boats on their own: Today they faced 18-20 knots and survived! A few swims, and a lot of adrenalin... this is what sailing is really about!
