Setting sail for Carcoar
With the water level now at more than 80 per-cent, a full Carcoar Dam Sailing Club program has returned to Carcoar Dam for the first time in five years. Carcoar Dam Sailing Club Commodore, Don MacLennan, said the end of drought conditions would mean a new beginning for the 36 year old club.
"Low dam levels have restricted club activities for five years, but with the water level now the best in a decade, club members have been eager to resume full club activities," he said.
"We kicked off the season last weekend and will continue throughout the warmer months with regular club racing events and weekly social sailing. I urge previous members whose interest dropped with the waterline to bring their boats and rediscover the joy of sailing by joining us on the water at Carcoar dam.
"I also invite anybody with sailing experience to bring your boat along and discover why club members are so passionate about sailing at Carcoar.
"If you are interested in learning more about sailing, I encourage you to contact the club or visit after 11am on Sundays and see why we love this fascinating and challenging sport.
"You will get to see the thrill of sailing, gain an understanding of some of the basics and hopefully it will ignite your interest in taking to the water."
Mr MacLennan said club members have been busily preparing for the upcoming sailing season throughout winter.
"Improvements to the club facilities and grounds have been undertaken over the past few months and the club's rescue boat has been overhauled. We are now ready for what looks like being the best sailing conditions in a decade and we encourage others to join us and share the exhilaration of sailing."
The Carcoar Dam Sailing Club meets on Sundays at 11am at the dam.
