Father’s Day at Bunnings. Thanks to all volunteers who helped.

AC37 action today in Barcelona. Flying or sailing?

Americas Cup has commenced. Amazing technology that some may think it’s not sailing, but it is exciting.

It was great to see long time member, hardworking and genuine good ‘bloke’ Max Hewitt received life membership at our recent AGM.

Max is always on hand for any duties, Learn to Sail, Committee, Regatta Official, Fund Raising and Sailability to name several.

A great honour, well done and congratulations.

Volunteers are needed for the club sausage sizzle at Bunnings on Father’s Day, September 1st.

It was fantastic to see a sailor, gold medalist Matt Wearn be recognised to carry our flag at the Olympic Closing Ceremony with swimmer Kaylee McKewan.

Matt also won gold in Tokyo, with Sailing being a very successful sport over the years at Olympic Games.

Try sailing at the Bundaberg Sailing Club.

With the 2024-25 Season not far away a new program being drawn up will see a return to 5 race trophy series.

A sponsor has been found with trophies presented at the end of each series.

Program out shortly.

Matt Wearn goes back to back in the Men's Dinghy and wins GOLD again for Australia!

Season starts on the 7th September.

2024/25 Sailing Program out soon.

Looking forward to a great season. Get your boats ready.

Thanks to all club members who helped at the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle yesterday.

Bunnings Sausage Sizzle this Sunday. If members aren’t on the roster come out and support the team and your club. Chief sausage chef Kylie will be cooking up a storm.

It is sad to see the passing of Life Member Lorraine Tappenden.

Lorraine was a driving force in the club as president of the Ladies Committee running a very successful canteen. Back in the good old days.
