Marblehead Yacht Racing

The Stirling Marblehead Yacht Racing Club meets weekly with the ducks at the Woorabinda Lake Reserve. It seems a friendly arrangement, although I think the ducks get more benefit!

The Stirling Marblehead Yacht Racing Club is based in Stirling, South Australia some 20km east of Adelaide in the Adelaide Hills.

The Lake is simply beautiful. With a backdrop of regenerated forest, nature reflected brightly in its glassy waters and a flotilla of ducks ever present, its hard to believe this secluded and idyllic spot is less than a minutes drive from Stirlings main street.

The Club has been sailing since its inception by Laurie Rees in 1993 and only races the Marblehead "M"Class and has around 16 members at present.

Sailing is all year round every Wednesday for official races and informally on Sunday mornings.

Visitors are welcome to watch the yachts in action - members seem only too happy to let interested onlookers share their love of sailing by offering the controls.
