We have suspended club activities in line with government directives once more.

Lets all pull together to make this next six weeks count and we hope to get back to some sailing soon.

Under the current advice of government, LSC has determined that we can legitimately start sailing again.

This is great news, and we are intending to have our first sail this Saturday 16th May.

Please be prepared to take all the precautions for social distance and hand hygiene outlined in this document: https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/news/jsvvbcaa5hx3zulx.pdf

If there is any more news, we’ll post it here but at this time it will be a normal start (1:00) on a course to be advised on the day.

Take Care & see you on the lake.

We have suspended club activities in line with government directives in light of the health threat posed by covid19.

We look forward to seeing old and new members on the other side and hope everyone stays safe.

 

Come and try sailing at Lysterfield sailing club.

Lysterfield Sailing Club has a discover sailing day on Sunday 10th November 2019.

We aim to show everyone how much fun small boats are to sail, for adults and kids of all abilities and budgets.

We’ll have boats out for you to try, people to ask for advice on how to get started and all are welcome to attend.  Find out more from Australian sailing or turn up between 10:00 and 2:00 at our club on the 10th with some sunscreen and some clothes you don’t mind getting wet.

For info or to make a booking (thus ensuring you don’t miss out!!) Call our Sailing Co-Ordinator (sailing types call them the Rear Commodore – Sailing) Anne on the number listed in the picture.

You can also get in touch via our contact page, or check us out on facebook.

See you then!!
