Event Overview:
This exciting event is specifically designed to promote and develop women’s sailing, creating an opportunity for emerging sailors to build confidence, refine skills, and transition into the world of racing. Whether you’re a recent graduate of our Sailing Academy or have participated in similar programs at other clubs, this regatta is the perfect chance to test your abilities in a friendly and supportive environment.
How It Works:
This regatta focuses on creating an inclusive atmosphere where women sailors can experience racing in a safe and encouraging space. Female crews will be formed from individual applications, with each crew paired with a Sailing Academy-appointed skipper/instructor. This ensures that you have expert guidance throughout the event. Each crew will have a maximum of 5 members, and the goal is to encourage learning, teamwork, and fun!
In this format, helm swapping is encouraged, allowing everyone to take turns as helmsperson throughout the day. This gives each participant a chance to grow their skill set, whether you’re new to helming or experienced and looking to refine your technique.

Racing Session (1:00 PM – 3:30 PM):
The afternoon is all about putting your new skills into action! Crews will compete in up to four fun-filled races on a Windward/Leeward course, designed to be accessible for all levels while still offering exciting racing. After each race, there will be time to debrief, make adjustments, and get ready for the next round.
You’ll be sailing on a fleet of Elliott 7 inshore keelboats, known for their stability and ease of handling, which means you can focus on developing your sailing skills without worrying about complicated boat handling. Each boat will be helmed by one of the crews, with guidance from the skilled Mentor Skipper who will be there to offer tips, advice, and support throughout the regatta.
Why You Should Join:
- A Supportive Learning Environment: This event is specifically designed to help you transition into racing in a low-pressure, fun atmosphere. It’s about development, not just competition!

- A Confidence Boost: Whether you’re aiming to compete in future races or just looking for more sailing experience, this regatta is a stepping stone to building your confidence and skills in a real-world racing environment.

Local photographer reveals a new wave perspective on South Curl Curl Rockpool in new exhibition 'Immersed' at Manly Library
Marion Wheeler, of Manly Vale, sets a new wave perspective with her photographic exhibition called 'Immersed' at Manly Library.
Her spectacular shots of the break crashing over camera are set to thrill visitors to this evocative show.
"It's all about timing. There's a single moment to get a single shot before nature crashes over your head," explained Marion, an award winning photographer who's been capturing the natural world.
"It was one of the most challenging projects I've ever tackled. I was fully immersed in the water with my handheld camera bearing the full brunt of the waves crashing over me to capture that elusive moment when the wave is perfectly arced, a liquid sculpture for a split second above, which then smashed over my head.
"There were moments when I wondered if I'd come out the other side in one piece. One time I was swept down the pool with the force of a 3 meter breaker - tumbling under water, breath held, goggles lost but I got the shot and wisely decided that was enough for one day."
"The shots reflect my love of the ocean, its force and form. It's the architecture of the Northern Beaches and is endlessly fascinating. I hope other locals who share my passion will enjoy the exhibition, as much as I did taking the photos."
The exhibition 'Immersed' of images of South Curl Curl Rockpool runs from 31 May - 31st July at Manly Library Creative Space, Level 1.

Surfing Mums & Dads
Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children.
The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am.
Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.
We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
