Welcome new faces and “old hands” to Dinghy Sailing at Hillarys Yacht club for season 18/19. The waters around Cow Rock and Wanneroo Reef have been the launch pad for a number of successful sailors in the past, and our coaching staff will continue to develop our sailors to keep this tradition going. Our Green fleet of graduates from Tackers and Start Sailing courses will join us on the race course aboard Tackers, Optimists, Pacers and Laser4.7s. Along with our new leadership team, our core of experienced Race Officers and Mark Layers will continue to also set courses for the enjoyment and development of our Laser Radial, Standard, 125 and Taser sailors, young and old. The sailing calendar is designed to allow participation at other major sailing events in the region, and our club’s Keelboat Sailing program. At HYC, we expect an even bigger Sail Easter Regatta this season. With support roles available both on water and ashore, a day at HYC Dinghy Section is one that can involve the whole family. Come and watch us sail on race or training days to see where you can get involved. Recent research in the UK found the following benefits for young people sailing: Physical and Mental Health, through Confidence, Empowerment, Competence, Problem Solving, Decision Making, Planning, Leadership, Social Interaction Skills and Interpersonal Skills. Be part of the team and enjoy the benefits! Have a great year sailing
