The Sailing Instructions for 2012-13 season has been updated as of 10 November 2012.
Elwood Sailing Club is proud to partner with Elwood Primary School to offer free learn to sail courses to grade 3/4 students. Sailing is a sport that fosters independence and self reliance while having fun on the water.
