The yacht squadron is a sailing club for trailable and keel yachts, monohulls and multihulls. We sail Sunday fortnightly races from the Boat Club, either outside the harbour around buoys or around the navigation markets. During the year we host a number of regattas and social races, as well as social cruises sailing around the Sandy Straits and over to Fraser Island. Often this is a moonlight cruise on a Saturday evening on a full moon for a BBQ on the island.
Currently we have a broad range of yachts in our fleet ranging from RL 24s to large cruising catamarans. Our racing fleet is a mixture of yachts ranging from 24' to 38' monohulls and 24' to 33' multihulls.
Any person interested in sailing as crew or in their own yacht can attend races on a Sunday. We will always find a place for crew on a yacht. We meet for a Briefing on the Boat Club deck before races. A racing calendar can be obtained from the secretary.
Our monthly general meeting is held on the first Thursday of every month in the Board Room of the Boat Club at 7:30 PM.
View our Sailing Calendar for a complete list of sailing events.
A casual get-together for drinks and a chat is held from 6.30pm on the last Friday of every month in the Sports Bar at the Boat Club. All yacht squadron members and partners are welcome.
