Who are we? The University of Queensland Sailing Club has been a mainstay of campus culture for over 30 years.
We are a non-profit sailing club run by students based at the University of Queensland, St Lucia. Our members and the executive team come from various international backgrounds, studying countless disciplines. However, we are united in our ambition to promote youth sailing at home and abroad through technical training and social facilitation.
What do we do? The UQ Sailing Club provides a broad range of events and activities to suit everyone’s abilities. If you’re just starting out and want to see what sailing is all about, we run social sailing most weekends, which is a fun day out on the water with mates. If you’re a bit more ambitious and would like to learn how to skipper, then why not sign up for our learn to sail course?
Beyond this, we run exciting camping trips up and down the Queensland coast, not to mention our Whitsunday Yacht Holidays! All of these opportunities are available to our members…
Everyone is welcome to join, absolutely no sailing experience required!
