We were thrilled to welcome approximately 50 women from across the marine community, including sailing, angling, scuba diving, freediving, and the marine science sector, for a day focused on building confidence, practical skills and connection.
Participants had the opportunity to complete their marine licence test, learn the fundamentals of boat launch preparation, and gain hands-on experience reversing boat trailers with expert guidance, all while connecting with other like-minded women passionate about getting out on the water.
A huge thank you to all participants for bringing such enthusiasm and support to the day, and to our wonderful service providers and partners who helped make it possible, including Victorian Boat Training and Peninsula Boat Training for sharing their expertise and creating such a welcoming learning environment.
The event was delivered by the Victorian Fisheries Authority and Victorian Boat Training, in partnership with the Victorian Women in Fishing and Boating initiative and Mornington Yacht Club and was made possible through the Victorian Government’s Better Boating Fund.
