This Week in Yachting – 12th November 2026
THIS WEEK @ OXENFORD WATERSPORT CENTRE AND SQUAD UPDATE
By: Amber Hudson
Toogoolawa High School has been coming to SYC Oxenford training facilities twice a week for the month, with all different year grades learning to sail on both Hobie Wave Catamarans and RS Quest Dinghys. The boys had lots of enthusiasm and we were told they were trying to bribe their teachers to join them each week. Thanks to the school, we look forward to seeing them again next year.
Coming Up!

SAILOR OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to Eloise Holzapfel who is sailor of the week!
Eloise began her sailing journey at the beginning of 2023 with our Oxenford She Sails program. As the youngest sailor and a regular participant in the She Sails sessions, she has embraced the opportunity to sail with other females and has learnt how to sail a Hobie wave catamaran solo.
Eloise tells us “I spend a lot of time on boats so I wanted to take up sailing to help me be more confident on the water”.
This term Eloise decided to begin her Tackers journey. Despite her reservations, she has embraced the challenges of being part of a structured course all with a smile on her face. She has conquered her fear of capsizing and is currently working on building her confidence sailing a monohull and improving her tacking and jibing skills. Her goal is to advance through the tackers program and into bigger boats.
Well done Eloise, we look forward to seeing where your sailing journey takes you.
