A big step towards making upstairs more accessible — huge thanks to the volunteers who made it happen!

Some sailing did occur this afternoon, but no races took place due to the cold front weather activities. Nicky and Phil had some good rides around Matilda Bay. Damien sailed his Scow Moth and practiced his capsize routine!
