About Hang Loose Sailing
About us
Here at Hang Loose Sailing we offer some time out for those living with PTSD, depression, and anxiety, as well as anyone seeking a gentle sail or hands on adventure across Lake Macquarie, with a two-hour sail aboard SV Bacchus - a 26' (8m) Sonata yacht.
Your experience with us can either be a hands-on sail or simply timeout, to relax and take in all of the beauty that Lake Macquarie has to offer.
We've partnered with the Lake Macquarie & Newcastle Suicide Prevention Network to connect our services to those who need support, understanding and time to relax, connect, escape and enjoy a memorable experience sailing.
