An invitation to prospective member’s to “Come and Try” Sailing

Our local cruises and weekend social events often provide an ideal opportunity for interested people to come and get to know us, jump from one boat to another to compare fittings, features and accommodation, or experience a short sail in sheltered waters.   

If you are interested contact our Secretary at trailersailerassoc@gmail.com who will put you in contact with one of our members who has volunteered their services. 

Please don’t be shy as we were all beginners at one stage.  

Our Association, which is substantially made of couples and families, has a very long standing reputation for friendship.

Benefits of being a member:

  • Maximise the use and enjoyment of your trailerable yacht
  • Provides an extensive program of on-water activities, including a wide variety of cruises
  • Have fun, enjoy the company of other members in a friendly atmosphere
  • Learn from the collective experiences of the members
  • Improve your sailing skills and knowledge of the waterways
  • Experience a wide range of sailing conditions and locations

But most of all.....
