SAFA Skysailor Magazine

27 May | June 2023 SKY SAILOR of the aforementioned ‘nervous’ category were in abundance, and it was through humour and love that we all had one of the best flying weekends of our lives!  I’m super proud of all the women who attended and my heart smiles broadly when I see women supporting women!  Thank you NSWHPA, Women With Wings and Sky Out Paragliding – Roger Stanford and Jocky Sanderson – for facilitating the first Women’s SIV.  Sara: “I can highly recommend completing an SIV course with Skyout Paragliding. Roger, Jocky and team were fantastic. A completely supportive environment, great guidance, sharing of knowledge and incredible in- struction through the manoeuvres. The debrief sessions are further learning tools and bring understanding of all that our wings can do, and review of pilot skills, actions and reactions. It was a wonderful experience to do the course along with other female pilots, united in nerves, laughter and gal power. We offered each other a tremendous circle of strength to achieve our goals on course.” Photos: Phil Kirkman Coralie: “This SIV was such a great learning experience to better understand how the glider reacts in different situations but also a lot of fun! Lots of fun above the lake doing manoeuvres, lots of fun on the ground with the incredible team!”
