Near the end of the summer holidays, Frensham Pond Sailing Club held its annual youth day to encourage young people with disabilities to learn to sail. There were very cheerful and experienced volunteers on hand to meet the young people's needs and the weather was just beautiful.
Here are a couple of pics of the boats waiting on the jetty for the off.
I don't think the sky could have been any more blue!
They run regular sessions on Thursday and Saturday mornings for youngsters with disabilities and have all the equipment needed for many types of health problems. If your family fit the bill, its really worth a look. they were SO friendly. The more experienced kids can go out alone, intermediates with a sailing buddy and novices or those needing more help can go in a group on a larger boat (on the left).
