To coincide with the official Opening Day for the 2015/2016 sailing season today, it was a pleasure to launch a new fleet of six Pacer dinghies at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania (RYCT) made possible by a State Government grant of $30,000 through Sport and Recreation Tasmania’s Major Grants Program.
The new Pacer dinghies will enable greater participation in sailing programs for beginner youths through to seniors. They will bolster the RYCT’s capability to teach Tasmanians of all ages how to sail in an enjoyable, safe and supervised environment.
I am very pleased that the Liberal Government is able to contribute to fostering positive community engagement, healthy lifestyles and ensure that the RYCT can continue to provide exceptional facilities that assist developing even more world class sailors.
Sport and Recreation Tasmania’s Major Grants Program provides grants of between $15,000 and $80,000 for the benefit of sport and recreation activities in Tasmania, which in turn deliver social and health benefits to communities.
