Port Dalrymple Yacht Club opens its doors for the community to come and try sailing on Launceston Show Day 11^th October. People can attend by themselves, or with a partner, friends or family to get a taste of what sailing is all about.

We encourage anyone who has ever wanted to try sailing to come and have a look and enjoy a sail with an experienced club member or instructor.

PDYC will provide all the instructors, boats and safety equipment, so all you have to do is come along prepared for a good time with a spare set of clothes, a hat and some sunscreen.

PDYC Discover Sailing Day offers you the chance to go for a short sail with an experienced sailor, enjoy the club’s facilities, and find out about the great sailing courses available.

The whole family can get involved – kids as young as five can enjoy a sail with a parent or guardian. Our Discover Sailing Host can answer any questions about sailing and our volunteers will ensure you have an enjoyable day at the club.
