Sabot sailing in the club
Adele Phillips
The sabot is a training boat, fantastic precisely because it is not easy to sail. The class has a proud history, particularly in our club and includes current and past Olympic champions. It is claimed that if you can master a sabot you can master anything. Our kids age out at 16, if you are lucky enough to stay small and light it does promise a few seasons of fun.
The club has a reasonable collection of club boats that we will be rolling out into the sailing program but are also available to use by members. Alternatively we have a number of sabots available for sale, should you be interested. If you wish to understand more about the Sabot fleet or want to talk about using a cub boat please contact Sally Badger, the old friendly class rep.
We look forward to seeing you out there and don’t forget a little bit of volunteering goes a long way, whether it be on the beach, out on the water or even the canteen!
