Lake Keepit Sailing Club was established in 1960 and was built and run by volunteers since that time. The Club runs Learn to Sail courses during school holiday in spring and summer each year run by accredited trainers and volunteers from the Lake Keepit Sailing Club assisting. The Club encourages the parents to participate in the Learn to Sail Courses with the children as this normally allows for the whole family to be involved and continue sailing after the course.
Lake Keepit Sailing Club is the only sailing club in the Northwest area of NSW that provides.
the Discover Sailing Centre with accredited sailing instructors that promotes Learn to sail
courses focus on families to encourage Women and Girls to participate in sailing on the lake.
The club is a registered not-for-profit organisation and is run entirely by volunteers.
The club objective is to promote sailing for everyone and provide boats for learn to sail
course for families to allow them to learn the fundamentals of sailing without having to
purchase a boat first.
The volunteers are spending hundreds of hours a month on club improvements with
new women's change rooms to provide better access to experience sailing in a safe
environment.
The club believes that the coming years will be harder for families to get into sailing due to the rising cost of living and will out some financial assistance from fundraising by the club they will miss out on the opportunity to learn to sail.
