Membership & SailPass

Learn to Sail / Kayak

Our club believes that nothing is better than hands on experience!

New sailors start by crewing a boat with an experienced member and gradually they'll learn the ropes to become hardened skippers.

All our members are more than happy to share their knowledge and experience leaving no one behind.

The Lake offers a safe environment to gain skills and our excursions to fellow clubs offer a great opportunity to experience inter-club racing.

Discover Sailing

Every year (~End October), the Lakeside Sailing Club - Pakenham organises a dedicated Discover Sailing Day. During this day, everyone is welcome to join us for free at the Lake for sailing and kayaking. We will provide the boats, kayaks, safety gear and a lot of fun!

When:

  • 29th October 2023
