Sailability Bendigo

23/04/2026

As the 2025/26 Sailability season comes to a close, we just want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank everyone who has been involved.

A big shout out to our volunteers — your time, care and commitment are what make this program possible. From helping on shore to supporting out on the water, you help create a space that is welcoming, safe and fun for all.

To our participants — thank you for showing up each week with enthusiasm and a willingness to give things a go. It’s been fantastic watching confidence grow and seeing so many great moments out on Lake Weeroona.

To families, carers and supporters — your ongoing encouragement plays a huge role in making this experience what it is.

And to the Bendigo Yacht Club and Cairn Curran Sailing Club — we appreciate your continued support in helping Sailability thrive as an inclusive community program.

It’s been a season full of connection, learning and plenty of smiles on the water. We’re already looking forward to what next season will bring.

Stay tuned for 2026 dates coming soon ⛵

Our March session at Lake Weeroona brought people together for another memorable day of connection, activity, and fun by the water.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers — your energy and dedication are what make these days so special each month 💙

Days like this are what community is all about.

To our Sailability Bendigo participants and volunteers,

Unfortunately, with a forecast of 36 degrees this upcoming Wednesday and very low water levels in Lake Weeroona, the decision has been made to cancel the February session of Sailability. We are devasted that we won't be able to see you all, but making sure you are out of the heat and keeping well is our main priority. Cycling Without Age Bendigo will also be keeping cool this Wednesday and will NOT be at the Lake Pavillion for bike rides.

If you have booked and paid for this month's session, a refund will be made back into the account you paid from OR your place will be automatically secured for the next session on March 18th, 2026.

Maggie from Sports Focus should have contacted you directly either by phone call or email - if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call Maggie on 5442 3101.

We apologise for any inconvenience - thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you on the water in March ⛵️

Overcast and windy - PERFECT day for a Sail! December's Sailability session was a hit on Lake Weeroona - the last session of 2025 went out with lots of smiles and sails!
Even with a little bit of rain, it was worth it being about to see these happy faces out on the water - with a few returning participants practicing what they have learned so far this year, sailing the boat themselves! This is what it is all about ⛵️🌥️
Thanks to Cycling Without Age Bendigo for coming along once again, providing participants the amazing experience of cycling around the lake!

Bookings for January 2026 are open NOW on TryBooking, so get your spot locked in now 👉 https://www.trybooking.com/DCLDX
