Midsummer Wrap

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays and looking forward to a great Australia Day.

Sunday Sailing

Sunday Sailing starts back on the 2nd of February with Sailing School from 8.30 am and Club Championship Heat 4 for all classes.

Our summer camps are getting rave reviews. We look forward to welcoming a great bunch of kids to Term 1 @ VA12SC very soon!

Sabot Nationals

The Sabot Nationals was a fantastic event that was enjoyed by many. Our club and all members can be proud of just how good a regatta it was. Kate and the whole team did an awesome job. We have received many compliments. Thank you to one and all for presenting our club so well. Click here for results, photos and more!

Huge Congratulations to all of our sailors! This is all about You!

A special mention to our best-placed sailor, Max Nearn for an admirable 22nd overall and 10th as a best place. At 11 years old he has plenty of years ahead in the sabot. He will be one to watch in years to come.

Next years Nationals are at Townsville Sailing Club. May I suggest a VA12SC New Years Eve on Magnetic Island?

The Flying 11’s have just finished their nationals at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron In Brisbane. Click here for Results. Once again our representatives did us proud.

Australia Day

This Sunday is a huge day on the harbour. We encourage all members to get involved with the celebrations. Let us know your plans so that we can manage vessels. The harbour programme for the day can be found here.

Big Year for 2020

On behalf of the committee, I extend to you all, a warm welcome to the new year. Let’s all work hard to give our kids the best experience possible while keeping it real, positive and super fast on the water.

We have a fantastic group of families at the moment and the enthusiasm can only be contagious. We look forward to welcoming lots of new members and hope that the parents add to the fantastic function of our beautiful club

Please read the emails and commit yourselves to lots of fun in term one. Till the autumn arrives and beyond. Make sure you have subscribed to the newsletter on our website and invite your friends (they can subscribe here).

Once again, Thanks to everyone who makes this club tick. We are very lucky.

See You Soon!

VA12SC Head of the Harbour Regatta. This Sunday!

Hi All,

Our club is hosting the 2019 VA12SC Head of the Harbour Regatta on Sunday 1st December 2019.

This is a regatta for Sabot 1-Ups and 2-Ups.

It is suitable for all skill levels and will be a great preparation for the Winning Appliances 56th Sabot Nationals Regatta and the Shipway Sabot week which will be held at our club on Jan 3rd – Jan 7th 2020.

For the Learn to sail kids you can also participate in the Green Fleet racing. We will set an easy course and coach you around it!

You will be guaranteed to have some fun!

It’s easy, jump online and register or come on in on the day and pay your registration fee.

We look forward to seeing you all

The VA12SC Team

Countdown to the Nationals!

It’s only 42 days until we host the

Winning Appliances 56th National Sabot Championships

&

Shipway Family Sabot week

We have an action-packed programme from now until the nationals. We want to make it as fun as possible for you and your budding sailors. We have lots of sailing planned and I urge anyone who might be interested in competing in a regatta to join up now as it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to be involved in a nationals regatta without leaving home!

Team Vaucluse will probably have about 10 boats in the nationals. I encourage any of our learn to sail students and new members to enter the Shipway Family Sabot week for a fantastic, safe, life-changing experience and lots of fun.

If you are not sure if your child is ready then see how they go over the next few weeks. There are plenty of practice days between now and then!

So please download our spring calendar here and stick it on the fridge.

The final lead up starts now.

Fire up the kids! (bribe them if you have to)

Do whatever it takes because you will not regret it.

Let’s make our club proud.

Go Team Vaucluse!

Kitchen Under Construction

Dear Members,

As some of you know, we were able to secure a grant to update our kitchen facilities - how lucky are we!

The renovations are well underway, however, the kitchen won’t be usable until October.

So, please, BYO food and beverages for the next few weeks when you are at the clubhouse.

The lovely Fiona Nearn and Sasha Paul have agreed to head up our beloved canteen so keep an eye out for the canteen roster to sign up and ensure all our young sailors are fed!

Many thanks and here’s to a great season ahead!
