Students from Carinity Education Rockhampton took to the waters off Yeppoon to learn a little about sailing \u2013 and a lot about themselves.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fifteen junior school students swapped the classroom for the ocean to set sail on Wings of Joy\u2019s 52-foot racing yacht, the KAYLE<\/em>, on Rosslyn Bay.<\/p>\n

Operated by Sailors with disABILITIES, the Winds of Joy program offers students a chance to learn basic sailing skills and experience first-hand practical solutions to new challenges in a safe and encouraging environment.<\/p>\n

Carinity Education Rockhampton<\/a> Principal Lyn Harland says Winds of Joy is a \u201cwonderful opportunity\u201d for students to \u201ctake part in an operation much larger than themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy engaging in teamwork and the articulation of new skills in the world of sailing students are able to push themselves in areas of learning not readily available for them during a normal school day,\u201d Lyn said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to put into practice boating skills learnt on the day helps to encourage self-belief by realising they are capable young individuals that need to embrace opportunities where possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casting off from Keppel Bay Marina, it was the first time some of the students had been on a boat and, despite small bouts of sea sickness, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was my first time going on a sailing boat. I was so scared at first but was fine when we got out of the harbour,\u201d student Kaytaya Bujayer said.<\/p>\n

Jesse Billington enjoyed a \u201cpretty fun day\u201d with a \u201creally nice crew and awesome weather\u201d while Loreen Johnson enjoyed learning sailing skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a fun day, I enjoyed sailing the boat and tacking and also doing the knots,\u201d Loreen said.<\/p>\n

Sailors with disABILITIES<\/a> was formed after the first fully disabled crew to sail in an open ocean race competed in the 1994 Sydney to Hobart event.<\/p>\n

Founder David Pescud says the sailing experience encourages people with a disability or those in challenging circumstances to see themselves in a new way and show them what they\u2019re capable of.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough sailing, people start to forget about what they can\u2019t do, and concentrate on what they can. For some, it\u2019s the first step towards accepting their circumstances and believing they can achieve more,\u201d David says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
