Women and girls aged 12 were invited to a morning of sailing, wellness and fun at Whitsunday Sailing Club on Saturday.
Strong interest saw capacity double from 15 to 30 places, with the free event made possible through Australian Sailing’s Sail Our Way grant, which encourages more women and girls to take to the water

The morning began with a gentle yoga session and social breakfast before participants learnt the ropes alongside qualified instructors and volunteers.
By the end of the morning, participants were putting their new skills to the test in a friendly relay race off Boathaven Beach, bringing the day to a fun and competitive finish.
