Over the years, SYCSA has had many projects, each with a goal towards increasing what we can offer the communities and interests we aim to serve.
Whilst dinghy sailing is quite accessible, building such a capability for the community is not cheap. Factor in the wear and tear on equipment, dinghies, rescue boats, teaching material and it is an ongoing challenge.
