Upcoming Events:

Our “Social Sailing Day” has been scheduled for Sunday 16th November, 10:30am to 2:30pm. Members, relatives and friends all welcome, so spread the word. This is also a fantastic opportunity to come and visit for those considering joining our club. Club training boats are available subject to skipper experience level and weather conditions, with some experienced members on hand to skipper boats if required. If the weather conditions for this day look unsuitable we will update via the Facebook page. 

Notices:

  • The Australian Grand Prix Corporation are replacing the southern pontoon blocks with lower profile blocks for the temporary bridge. Works are scheduled in the “narrows” section of the Lake from 29 October 2025 to 12 November 2025.
  • There will also be works on the Pit Building surrounds from 10 November to 19 December. They will be working until 10pm on weekdays and 3:30pm on Saturdays. Please be mindful as this could result in traffic delays around Aughtie Drive.
