‘The Calendar’
We’re excited to bring you this seasons Sailing and social calendar.
This will be our 135th season as a club we have taken skiff racing onto Sydney Harbour. We hope that many great memories will be born over the coming months.
We’ve combined our on-water racing with a great mix of social activities that both sailors, volunteers and supporters can all join together and enjoy.
Be sure to start marking your diaries with all the dates as we kick it off very shortly. The calendar is hosted on the clubs website and you can view it HERE
Safety First: Launching a new Rescue Rib for the Season
Safety is always our top priority, and to support this, the club has invested in a very well appointed BRIG rib for the coming season.
Featuring a 80HP Honda marine outboard it will have the ability to be fast onto the scene if called upon. Along with the recently announced new marine radios, we have you covered!
See you all soon
