Junior Sail Training
The weather gods were not kind to the juniors last Sunday. Strong winds from the south east forced our instructors to make the hard decision to call off training. This is always a painful decision, however the safety and enjoyment of our beginners of crucial for their sailing journey.
The weather looks good for this Sunday, NNW 14 knots (as I type this), and warm temps. The juniors will be safely navigating their boats through the Sail Peninsula yard to hit the water shortly after 9.00am. If you are around, we'd love to see you down at the club supporting our junior members and their families.
If you know of a junior looking to hit the water, please end them down to the club to meet at the flag pole at 9am on Sundays until 6th April. The cost is $120 for members. Please click THIS LINK to register.

Rip Tour Port Phillip Heads (Sunday,16 March)
You can read a book, diagrams and marine charts, but seeing it from the water with expert guidance is different. The annual Rip Tour is a practical on-water training event where experienced offshore navigators share information on how and when to transit safely. Everyone gets a headset so they don’t miss any commentary on navigation aids, tides, lead lights, shipping channels and a copy of the ORCV’s Rip Guide. The 2025 tour departs Queenscliff at noon on Sunday, March 16. For your convenience, you’ll be able to catch the connecting Searoad Ferry from Sorrento at 11 am. Book your place for this unique learning experience: https://www.orcv.org.au/training/rip-tour-of-port-phillip-heads
