Club secretary Terry McDonough said fair breezes also blew in to welcome regular sailors from Ulladulla and the Bay, and a couple of first-timers.
“We welcomed new sailor Matt Campbell, who came down with his carer Harry for the first time today,” she said.
“Also having her first sail with us was Althea Knox, who crewed with our sailing trainer Michael Leydon.
“Cathy Oliver had two great solo sails in her favourite 2.3 dinghy and steered perfectly back onto the beach both times.”
The club sails on alternate Sundays and Mondays from the beach adjacent to On The Pier restaurant in Old Punt Road, Batemans Bay, from 10am to 3pm.
All gear is provided – just take a hat and $5.
Terry said anyone, of any ability, who was interested in sailing and/or volunteering was more than welcome on sailing days.
Sailing days until Christmas will be held this Sunday, November 22, and on November 30, and December 6, 14 and 20, and resume on January 11.
