The Club’s Yacht sailing season starts on the first Saturday in September and continues through to Easter each year. The club also conducts Winter sailing for Yachts, commencing in May through to August as well. The Winter racing alternates week about with the Achenar series (spinnakers) and the Commodores Cup series (non spinnakers). In addition to the normal Saturday racing, Yachts run twilight races during daylight saving on a Friday afternoon as well as mid-week racing on Wednesday afternoons. There is also a once per month 'Weekend' Series for all Yachts & Trailer Sailors on a Saturday & Sunday during spring and summer.
Radio Controlled Yachts have a comprehensive racing calendar and operate all year round on most Thursdays from the Wangi Wangi Jetty in front of the Sailing Club. The main type of RCY's are the DF65 class but there are also DF95 and IOM boats in the fleet.
Wangi also has a Learn to Sail program running from October through to December and from Feburary to March.
