It was another sensational weekend of sailing at the Vincentia Sailing Club. Friday kicked things off with a Women’s Social and Discover Sailing afternoon. With record numbers on the water, all six Hobie Waves and the Getaway were afloat, making the most of the calm conditions. Joel and River also got out on the Dragoon […]
