Where HERON sailing in South Australia meets the World Wide Web
The Heron 'an affordable way of getting into sailing and staying'
The Heron is a small dinghy that offers unrivalled family pleasure.
First sailed in Australia in the late 1950s,
the Heron has introduced 1000's upon 1000's of people to
sailing. The Heron is ideal for learning and cruising, but the fleet also
boasts close and competitive racing amongst some of Australia's top
sailors.
For more information about the Heron, explore this site via the menu on the left or
