Apia Yacht Club Sailing Samoa

⛵️Sailing - 11/07/2026⛵️

Talofa Members and Friends of AYC!

Last week’s light winds gave us a chance to practise some light wind sailing techniques, but we weren’t able to cover everything we had planned. With a bit more breeze this weekend (weather permitting), we’ll continue working on those skills.

To get the most out of the session, we encourage everyone to review training videos especially the gybing videos on youtube to refresh the techniques before heading out on the water. Feel free to contact our instructors for reference if needed.

📅 Saturday, 11th July 2026
🕜 1:30pm – 5:30pm
📍 Apia Yacht Club, Mulinuu

This week’s focus:
⛵ Sailing independently
🌬️ Downwind sailing (runs)
🔄 Gybing

All fleets welcome! (Optimist, Laser & Hobie Cat)

See you on Saturday!
