Come and Join the Twilight Thumb Sailors at Ship Creek!
Twilight Sailing at Port River Sailing Club
Beginning on Thursday 17th October at 5pm the 2019/2020 PRSC-MLMYC Twilight Sailing Series gets underway. For ten evenings over summer you will get as much sailing as you can handle followed by as much food as you can eat. Registration is $30 for the full series or $5 per evening, and meals are only $12. Many MLMYC sailors ventured down to Port River last summer and they will all tell you what a great time they had down there.
Port River is a great place for twilight sailing for many reasons.
- The shoreline faces east so there is no sun glare on the water
- There is a huge sheltered and elevated deck for comfortable sailing especially on hot evenings
- 5pm is the best time to sail in summer. It is often past the heat of the day and there is frequently a cool southerly breeze
- With the Port Adelaide expressway it is easy to get to from Mawson Lakes
- The social and fun aspects of the sailing and eating experience will have you coming back regularly
- There is a well-equipped club house with bar and eating facilities and there are excellent bathrooms
- All classes of model yachts are welcome, and given sufficient numbers we expect to have separate starts for ML45s and RC Lasers
- Many of your familiar MLMYC faces will be there
