There will be an opportunity to try the sport at all levels, from junior training dinghies to cruising and racing yachts.

Qualified instructors and skippers will be on hand to assist the public in learning the sport or just for cruising.

Also starting the same day is a five-week beginners sailing course that will be held each Saturday until December 5.

The course costs $60 and will ensure adults and children aged eight and over learn how to sail, about boat safety and oceanography. Each participant also gains free club membership for the following year.

The club is conducting more extensive 10-week courses during term one 2010.

The event is part of the club’s build-up for its hosting of the 2011 International Mirror Class World Championships, in what is believed to be the first sporting world championship to be held in Albany.
