Port Esperance Sailing Club Destroyed

We are sad to inform you that just over a week ago, on the night of Thursday 23rd April, the Port Esperance Sailing Club in Dover was burnt down. All the club’s sailing dinghies were destroyed. The fire ripped through the back of the building, the roof and the recently re-built veranda. Although the brick part of the building still stands, it unfortunately will have to be demolished as it is now unsafe.

Vale Bill Bell

The sailing world has lost a great friend. Quietly spoken, but always considered, Bill Bell was a great friend to many sailors across the world and will be sorely missed. He made a significant contribution to the sport of sailing, both as a sailor, an International Judge and a club official, and he was hugely respected worldwide for his calm and authoritative approach.

What the Victorian Water Police say about looking after your boat during the lockdown

Media reports highlight that beaches, piers, jetties and boat ramps are closed and that recreational boating is not an essential activity.  The water police understand that boats need to be looked after.  Sorrento Sailing and Couta Boat Club  confirmed with the Victorian Water Police what is allowed when looking after your boat and what “add-ons” are going to get you in a world of strife.
