Sabre Association members
The committee and members of the Albert Sailing Club (ASC) will be pleased to welcome Sabre class association members to sail with our active club Sabre fleet during the winter months. Our winter sailing season commenced in mid June. In particular we look forward to hosting 5 events in the 2008 Sabre Association winter series. The water level in Albert Park Lake has risen over the last three months and is currently good for sailing. While not at maximum depth, the water level is the best it has been for three years.
