Middle Harbour Yacht Club

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker With the sailing season having now officially commenced, I wish to recognise Middle Harbour Yacht Club to congratulate them for 80 years of sailing in my community. Started in 1939 by local sailors Togo Middows and George Griffin, Middle Harbour Yacht Club has a long and impressive history in the sailing world. Not only does this club set a great example of Australian sporting success, it continues to provide opportunities for people of all ages and skill-level to experience the pure joy of sailing on our beauty Sydney Harbour. I was thrilled to join club members, General Manager Karen Baldwin and the club's Commodore Peter Lewis for a formal salute on the marina to officially open the sailing season. I am proud to have sporting clubs like Middle Harbour Yacht Club in my electorate and was pleased to have supported them with government funding so they can continue encouraging active lifestyles in my community. I wish them well this sailing season.
