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

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
