Glamping & Camping – We have the possibility of arranging special camping facilities at the club. Camper vans can be arranged

DF95 CHARTER: We can arrange chartering boats. Best to bring own sails and radios.

SAILING CONDITIONS:  October is spring and the weather should be cool and winds, mornings light easterly and afternoons moderate/strong south easterly. South easterlies are the prevailing winds for spring and summer. A Cape frontal system would cause the winds to blow strongly from the North-west. As this time is after the winter rains the dam should be at 100% capacity.
