Maroochy River Adventures!
The Summer Sailing Season commences at Maroochy at the end of January. A range of Racing and Cruising activities has been scheduled both in the Maroochy River (sailing from our Clubhouse on Chambers Island) and off-shore in Mooloolabah Bay (sailing from the Marina).Maroochy Junior sailors can go exploring the Maroochy River over the coming weeks as part of the Club's summer Adventure Sails program. Held every second Sunday morning from 9.30am, Adventure Sails will involve our Youth sailing to a pre-determined location in the Maroochy River (always accompanied by more experienced sailors and our Safety Boats). While some may sail their Optimist dinghies, you can also join in and sail in one of the Club Pacers, either as skipper or crew. The exact 'adventure' each fortnight will only be revealed on the day! It could depend on the weather, the tide conditions, involve skimming over (or sailing in between!) the sandbars, maybe landing on a hidden beach ..... and bringing back some treasure! Hopefully we'll have opportunities to explore the lower sections of the river around Picnic Point/Cotton Tree and Twin Waters, as well as the middle reaches between the Sunshine Motorway Bridge and the Bli Bli Bridge. In our summer Adventure Sails, our young sailors will be able to develop their sailing skills and confidence in a non-competitive environment and experience the diversity of our great river whilst having fun sailing with each other. Adventure Sails will operate fortnightly on Sundays as an alternate to the Maroochy Off-shore Program during our Club's summertime program. First scheduled Adventure Sail is on Sunday 5 February, with rigging from 9.30am.
