I see sailing for 50+ people, who may not have been on a yacht before, as therapy. So I have named this activity as Sailing Therapy.
The new season therapy dates will begin again about Week 3 of September. I am looking at is Sunday 20-sep-2026 as the first one for Spring 2026. Drop me a message on WhatsApp, or an email, if you are interested in participating one day.
Future Sailing Therapy activities will be on a Tuesday, Wednesday or on a weekend. They usually start from Mosman Bay about 10:00, returning about 15:30. Typically motor cruise to Store Beach, just inside North Head, or Middle Harbour in the morning, when winds are too light for sailing, for a picnic lunch around the cockpit table. Then sail home ideally with a comfortable afternoon north easterly wind.
I am happy to take requests for lunch mooring sites west of Sydney Harbour Bridge too, like Fish Markets or Cockatoo Island. Each event is subject to a weather check the night before.

CATERING
I organise these activities via stitch.net
I supply the yacht, skipper and safety equipment. Guests are expected to provide the picnic lunch ingredients.
Please message me if you are interested or have questions. No experience necessary. You just need to be active enough to get around on a sloping deck safely. I have been taking newbies sailing for the 35 years I have owned my Yacht Yindi so I do everything possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
