Out There Sailing Program was launched at Port Dalrymple Yacht Club on Sunday 16^th February

The Out There Sailing Program is a new initiative of Australian Sailing established for young people aged 12 through 17.

• Having fun and getting active on the water

• Socialising with friends and making new ones

• Going sailing and also an opportunity to have a go at SUP’s and windsurfing

• Learning team skills

PDYC is pleased to be an early supporter of this fantastic program introduced by Australian Sailing and has adopted it as a pathway for youth to get involved on the water with their peer group.

The launch session on Sunday afternoon saw an enthusiastic group of young people including both experienced sailors and newcomers having fun. Working together as a group to get the boats ready and out on the water set the scene. A freshening breeze saw some lively sailing including some unexpected capsizes. However, the group looked out for and helped each other to get everyone safely back to shore. The afternoon wrapped up with a relaxed wind down and pack up.

The Out There Sailing Program is being implemented by Australian Sailing via accredited Discover Sailing Centres and qualified Instructors. All equipment is provided by PDYC.

The program is flexible for what the daily environment presents and also flexible on the social element in the club environment, be it on the water, on the beach, or in the clubhouse.

Out There Sailing is a great introduction to a variety of sailing sports and skills, with the focus on fun with friends. Participants learn these skills through exciting exercises and put them to good use in fun on water activities. The program offers flexibility to come for a day, or come for four.
