As there are several Clubs in Melbourne area that cater for those more serious “class” yachters, it was decided that our club would cater for all comers, no matter what type of sailing vessel they have. We do have yacht races but, these are all handicap type races, based on the potential of the boat and the skill of the skipper. This is based on a weekly performance. The biggest and the fastest may get line honours but, the smaller slower boats often get the handicap points. The Racing rules of yachting are so complex that we thought to try and apply them to our Members could cause too many protests… so we have ammended the rules to suit our own needs. We sail to Ladies and Gentlemens rules: 1. Round all the marks. 2. Give way when required. 3. Avoid Collisions. Our Members that have power boats usually put those craft into the water when all sailing has finished for the day

Membership Growth
Since our beginnings back in February 2000, the club has had a steady growth of Membership. It is always pleasing to see new faces at the Club. This Hobby/Sport is not just for the retired, it can be a worthwhile and fulfilling hobby for the whole family. When COVID-19 is less restricted and you feel that this Hobby/Sport maybe for you, please come down to the Club on any Saturday morning/afternoon, or on a Tuesday morning and introduce yourself to any of the attending Members. Who knows… maybe you will get to sail one of the boats on the day. But please be warned, this Hobby/Sport can be very addictive…
