SUMMARY:Sail Cruising Group - Autumn Colours Winery Tour
DESCRIPTION:Members intending to drive by car have queried the availability of fuel. Although some service stations have been out of fuel at times\, those occurrences mainly affect rural areas. If you travel along the coast to the outskirts of Sydney and then on the M31 to Albury you are unlikely to encounter any fuel issues as these areas are well supplied and lots of people commuting along these roads.\n\nThis is a cruise with a difference\, a Land Cruise with a nautical theme. The cruising group now has 4 vessels with owners based in the Albury-Wodonga region and this cruise offers an opportunity for a group visit to North East\nVictoria at a time when the autumn colours are at their best. We will hire a minibus and visit a number of wineries in the North East Victoria wine region. Wine tastings at each winery and grazing platters in between will make for a great day out. Our Saturday evening dinner will be followed on Sunday by a historical towns tour\, one or two wine tastings\, an attempt to fit the group into Victoria’s smallest pub and an end-of-cruise dinner with a quiz. \nImportant: If you intend to participate in this cruise book your flights early as the direct flight sells out quick. As of today (14 Nov 25) the return flight is $530 per\nperson. Alternative flights are available via Sydney. \nCost: Apart from flights and accommodation\, we will share the cost of the bus hire. Wineries normally charge a small tasting fee which is refunded when purchasing wines. Most wineries offer to ship purchased wine to your home. \nAs this is a new concept for a cruise we would appreciate an expression of interest (email to svmoonglade@gmail.com) as soon as possible. \nSEE MORE DETAILS HERE

SUMMARY:WAGS
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Afternoon Go Sailing (WAGS) happens every Wednesday of the year (weather permitting). Enthusiastic yachties take the afternoon off work and enjoy a friendly race around the local islands of Moreton Bay. \nIf you’d like to join the fun\, head to the RQYS Bistro from 1100 hrs to enter your yacht or register your interest as crew. Our WAGS Team will do their best to place visiting sailors on a yacht\, but please note that spots are strictly subject to availability on the day and cannot be guaranteed. \nCrew Registration in the RQ Bar\nAfter signing in at main reception\, head to the RQYS Bistro and make yourself known to the WAGS Coordinators. They will try to match you with a vessel if there is a space available. \nPlease be aware: \n\nPlacement is prioritied as follows:\n\n\nRQYS Members\nMembers of another Australian Sailing affiliated yacht club.\nSail Pass holders\n\n\nThe number of crew spots depends entirely on how many boats are entered and whether skippers have spare space.\nOn some days\, demand may exceed availability\, meaning you may not be placed on a vessel.\n\nSailing Duration\nDepending on the weather and your assigned vessel\, WAGS races generally run for 3–4 hours. \n\n\n\nWhat to Bring: \n\nA bottle of water\nClothes you don’t mind getting wet\nNon-marking shoes (to protect the deck)\n\nWhy WAGS Matters\nWAGS is an important pathway into sailing\, giving newcomers the chance to experience the sport in a relaxed but competitive environment. Many participants go on to complete learn-to-sail courses or become RQYS members. It’s also a great way for experienced sailors without their own boat to get regular time on the water\, building skills and enjoying the camaraderie of our sailing community. \n

SUMMARY:WAGS
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Afternoon Go Sailing (WAGS) happens every Wednesday of the year (weather permitting). Enthusiastic yachties take the afternoon off work and enjoy a friendly race around the local islands of Moreton Bay. \nIf you’d like to join the fun\, head to the RQYS Bistro from 1100 hrs to enter your yacht or register your interest as crew. Our WAGS Team will do their best to place visiting sailors on a yacht\, but please note that spots are strictly subject to availability on the day and cannot be guaranteed. \nCrew Registration in the RQ Bar\nAfter signing in at main reception\, head to the RQYS Bistro and make yourself known to the WAGS Coordinators. They will try to match you with a vessel if there is a space available. \nPlease be aware: \n\nPlacement is prioritied as follows:\n\n\nRQYS Members\nMembers of another Australian Sailing affiliated yacht club.\nSail Pass holders\n\n\nThe number of crew spots depends entirely on how many boats are entered and whether skippers have spare space.\nOn some days\, demand may exceed availability\, meaning you may not be placed on a vessel.\n\nSailing Duration\nDepending on the weather and your assigned vessel\, WAGS races generally run for 3–4 hours. \n\n\n\nWhat to Bring: \n\nA bottle of water\nClothes you don’t mind getting wet\nNon-marking shoes (to protect the deck)\n\nWhy WAGS Matters\nWAGS is an important pathway into sailing\, giving newcomers the chance to experience the sport in a relaxed but competitive environment. Many participants go on to complete learn-to-sail courses or become RQYS members. It’s also a great way for experienced sailors without their own boat to get regular time on the water\, building skills and enjoying the camaraderie of our sailing community. \n
