ZHIK SAIL YOUTH WEEK
/Many of our Youth Sailings are heading to Keppel Bay Sailing Club at Yeppoon in Central Queensland to participate in week-long Sailing activities - Zhik Sail Youth Week.
Maroochy Sailors at Youth Sail a few Years ago!
Following three days of coaching and training by a team of Australian Sailing Instructors, a three day mini-Regatta will allow them to test their competitive skills.
Usually some members of the Australian Sailing Team visit to assist with the training - last year current Olympic Champion Matt Wearne spent some time with the youngsters.
Parents take advantage of the organised activities to relax and take in the views of the Keppel Bay foreshore or the Causeway “Lake” where the novice sailors develop their skills. Many family groups camp in the beachside park alongside the KBSC.
Participation in Zhik Youth Week has become a rite of passage for our young sailors, a great opportunity meet other young sailors from North, Central and Southern Queensland.
