AFTER DARK EVENT

Around the begining and end of daylight saving time in SA, the club conducts an after dark sail with boats lit up with fairy lights. The 2024 events were a Friday night in April and another on a Wednesday Night in October, both preceeded by a BBQ.

It is a fun night not just for the members but for all who live near or by the lake, onlookers and walkers. It attracts many from young to all. 

Usually the fleet sails into the Promenade Lake in front of the coffee shops and restaurants, drawing onlookers, especially families and keen photographers.

Members of the Mawson Lakes Photography Club attended the April 2023 sail and took lots of pictures, some of which are included in our Gallery page. Acknowledgement and thanks to David and Ashley.from the ML Photography Club.

The timing we aim for;

• Friday in April after daylight saving ends when clocks go back 1 hour
  

• Wednesday in October before daylight saving starts.when clocks go forward 1 hour
  

Why a Wednesday - to avoid the long weekend & footy finals

The 2025 Dates

• Clock changes Sundays 6 April & 5 October
• Probable After Dark sailing dates both TBC
  • Friday 12 April
  • Wed 24 Sep or 1 Oct

We look forward to even more creatively dressed boats in the future at these two nights and the City of Salisbury Mawson Lights events.
