Junior Sailing at Tinaroo

Peter MacGregor, Saturday, 9 January 2010

Junior Sailing at Tinaroo

We think Lake Tinaroo is one of the best places for kids to learn how to sail.

Tinaroo Sailing Club runs "Learn to Sail" sessions for members each club day. New families are welcome to come and try.

Our club has adopted the O'pen Bic as its "Junior class"

This thoroughly modern little boat is ideal in so many ways for the beginning sailor in the 21st Century.

Have a look at how much fun our kids have in this video that we made last year.

 

Although the club has a number of boats that new sailors can try out, ultimately if your kids want to take up sailing they will need a boat. We recommend the O'pen Bic.

A brand new boat on a trolley can be delivered to your door in NQ for just over $4000!

For further information on the O’pen BIC please contact our club or the Australian distributer in Sydney Bevan McKavanagh Ph: 0404045774

Duty Sailor's Role

Peter MacGregor, Wednesday, 4 February 2009

Duty Sailors Role:
It is important that you arrive early on the day of your duty. Plan for a long day at the club on this occasion. Your role is to generally oversea the days events. There is no longer a requirement that you not sail on these days!

Early Morning

  • Put up the tarp for shade on Murray's Mound.
  • Sweep (or blow) out the clubhouse and ensure that it is ready for the day’s events.
  • See that the club’s safety boat is launched and ready for use.
  • Ensure that the starting lights and horn are in place

  
Late Afternoon

  • Ensure that the safety boat is put away.
  • The tarp needs to be taken down and put away
  • All rubbish needs to be emptied into a metal drum and placed outside the gates to the sailing club.
  • Organise for the showers to be hosed out etc.
  • Secure all the clubs property before departure.


If you are unable to do your duty. It is your responsibility to arrange for a swap with someone else on the roster.

Learn to Sail

Peter MacGregor, Monday, 16 March 2009


Learn to Sail:
Tinaroo Sailing Club run training sessions between 10am and 12 noon each club day. Participants are expected to join the club and provide their own PFD.

The club has members who are happy to introduce new sailors to the sport.

Intermediate sessions for sailors who already have the basics are also run each sailing Sunday.
 
These training sessions are provided for club members by club members.

A $5 boat maintenance fee will apply to those who are not using their own boats.
