New Vessel Expands Opportunities for Sailability Participants

Sailability Whitsundays has celebrated the launch of its newest vessel, the Simon Smith, with members and supporters gathering for a special christening earlier this month.

The colourful 303 dinghy was officially christened by David Smith on a perfect early June morning before taking to the water.
