https://www.kbsc.org.au/events/379802

Start Sailing 1 is learn to sail class for adults with little to no experience, held in Pacer Dinghies. The boats will have 1 instructor and 2 students, so you will get lots of support.

Beginning in October, the course will run on Monday afternoons 4:30-7:30, and on completion, depending on interest, there will be a chance to further your sailing interest with a level 2 program.

Can’t wait to see you then!

1st Aid course last weekend, good to have so many instructors and club officials brushing up on their skills ready for the season!

It’s time again for 1st Aid courses! Saturday 29th August, both full courses and CPR refresher available. We need numbers to go ahead but you don’t need to be a KBSC member! Get in touch with [email protected] if interested

For those who couldn't make it to the AGM:

We have two new life members: Michael Bird for his work as the Bosun and fixing everything (as well as the amazing donation of our new rescue/start boat), and Malcolm McAully for his 16 years as club Treasurer.

We also have a new Commodore: Finlay Cooper. It will be very exciting to have a young head at the helm. Many thanks to immediate past Commodore, Grant Atherton who has taken on the job as Treasurer.

We still need a new Vice Commodore and Handicapper. These jobs can be broken down and maybe shared, but a volunteer club like ours needs volunteers in order to exist.

6 days to go, and we still have seats available at the KBSC table! Please get in touch if you want to come along for a night of laughs and trivia!

2026 AGM - Sunday 21st June, 2:30pm!

As always, Anne's famous scones will be on offer with cream and jam, pairing perfectly with a tea/coffee on these cold days.

As always, we have a handful of committee positions in need of filling, and the club could not work without the efforts of volunteers.

For a description of the duties, see:https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/site/raoniibq5tznpd0a.pdf

If you wish to discuss any potential role within the club, please don't be shy in asking questions

It's that time of the year again, time for KBSC to trade in our main sheets for answer sheets and try our hand at TRIVIA.

If you're free and think you know a thing or two, drop an email to [email protected] to reserve yourself a seat at the table!
