WSC Update – September 25th 2021

Returning to sport- #VAXTHENATION
The NSW government has flagged that over the next month lock down restrictions will ease.  It has also indicated that greater liberties will be afforded to people who are fully vaccinated.  The Board of The Woollahra Sailing Club supports these initiatives and encourages all members to get vaccinated.  It is possible that some Club activities and facilities will only be available to people who are fully vaccinated and to children under the age of 12. 
We are expecting Club Racing and Sailing School activities to resume in October.  Please help by getting vaccinated.

WSC Stories – 25 September 2021

WSC Stories
During these strange days it feels at times that there is lots happening and simultaneously very little happening.  We would like to take a moment to celebrate some of the good things happening at the Club and around the world.  The big international events at the moment are the Olympics and Paralympics.  Locally WSC Members continue to use the Club and take their vessels out to enjoy the harbour.  In celebration of the varied international nature of of our sports and the Club’s membership we are running a series of “WSC Stories” featuring stories from our members.  If you would like to contribute, or for more information see – About WSC Stories.
