Kids take to the water

Docklands Yacht Club has an increased its junior memberships and has taken possession of its first pair of OziOpti kids boats.

“These are colourful, conventional sailing dinghies especially designed for kids ‘introduction to sailing’ programs,” club secretary Terry O’Donnell said.

Mr O’Donnell said the purchase was made possible through a grant from the City of Melbourne.

“It really is amazing just how many kids there are in Docklands so, amongst all the other development projects and events that we’re working on, it will be the Docklands kids who will add to our presence on Victoria Harbour.”

“I’ve got a good feeling, that this will become our major breakthrough towards a massive future in Docklands,” Mr O’Donnell said.
