Every Wednesday of every year (weather permitting), enthusiastic yachties take the afternoon off work and venture to RQYS for a fun and friendly race around the local islands of Moreton Bay.
Rearrange your schedule and get on down to the RQ Bar from 1100 to enter your yacht or register your interest to sail. Our WAGS Team will do their best to place visiting sailors on a yacht. Please note, we cannot guarantee that a position will always be available.
How WAGS Works
The first thing to do when arriving at the club is to sign-in at Clubhouse Reception.
There are four (4) options available to assist you in participating in a WAGS event; those being:
Secondly, you will then need to register with the WAGS coordinators in the RQ Bar. They will assign you to a vessel, if one is available.
In terms of what to bring, we recommend a bottle of water, clothes that can get wet and shoes with non-marking soles (so as to not mark the deck of the boat).
Why WAGS is important
WAGS is a vital strategic pathway for on-water participation in the sport of sailing. It provides an avenue through which individuals and families can engage in an intensive but light-hearted interpretation of the sport, before ultimately committing to a learn-to-sail course or RQYS membership.
It is the intention of WAGS to introduce newcomers to the joys and excitement of sailing on Moreton Bay, both competitively and recreationally. We hope that all WAGS participants fall in love with our sport and choose to belong to our rich, vibrant community here at RQYS.
WAGS also provides an avenue for avid sailors to regularly compete as a crew member, developing their skills and experience, in the absence of owning their own vessel.
