Longueville’s Lane Cove 12ft Sailing Skiff Club (SSC) hosted the sabot class during the annual Australia Day Regatta on the last Saturday of January 2019. Sailors young and old came together to support and recognise the new members who have just learned to sail during the 2018-2019 season.
The winners of the regatta from the sabot class, who are typically between the ages of eight to 16 years old, were privileged to attend the awards ceremony and dinner at the Sydney Town Hall.
However, the whole day event was also a time for family members and friends of the club to get to acquainted and learn more sailing tips from each other. The young sailors and their families were also asked to participate and have fun in the novelty games and other activities prepared for Australia Day.
Lunch during the Australia Day Regatta was held on the deck, while the guests also had afternoon tea to wind up the celebrations by 4:00 p.m.
As with most sailing clubs in the country, the Australia Day Regatta was not an event to miss since this the oldest sailing event in the world. The tradition started in 1837 with five different categories of sailboat racing.
Members of the Lane Cove 12ft SSC in Longueville, on the other hand, have observed the regatta tradition since the club was established around 1896 or 1897.
Today, the club has 400 members in three different classes held every Saturdays from September through April. Members sail and compete with each other to hone their skills at the Lane Cove River or the Upper Harbour.
Lane Cove 12ft SSC is located on Stuart Street near the Aquatic Park and the Longuevill Reserve. For membership inquiries, you may email membership@lc12ftssc.org.au.
The oldest continuously conducted annual sailing regatta in the world is set to happen at Lane Cove 12ft Sailing Skiff Club in Longueville.
Happening on Saturday, 26 January 2019, the 183rd Australia Day Regatta will run three sprint races for 1-Up and 2-Up sabots as well as a sailing activity for those who are new to the sport.
