Racing
All our club racing is held on Saturday afternoons. Junior, youth and Senior classes race in the afternoon, leaving mornings for coaching. Often we have Friday night racing and Spontaneous Sprint racing when the weather is good. The season generally runs from the beginning of September through to the end of April. The Notice of Race and Supplementary Sailing Instructions for club racing can be viewed in the racing section of the site. All members are rostered on in all areas of Race Management - from Race Officer to Support Boats. Rosters can be found here
'Start Sailing' courses
We have start sailing courses for both children and adults. Everything is provided to make your transition into a life of sailing easy and straight forward. Find out more and register online here
Coaching
We have coaching programmes for our junior and youth sailors. Tuesday night is the main coaching night with Thursday night used for follow up training. There are two semesters of coaching .... the first is before Christmas and the second after Christmas. Sailors can register for our coaching programmes here
Committees
The club operates with one General Committee and two permanent sub-committees: the Sailing Committee and the House Committee. The General Committee meets once per month and full minutes are recorded. Other committees meet as necessary and are generally less formal. Members of the three permanent committees are elected annually at the club’s AGM, along with the office holder positions. Check out the key contacts for the club here
Food and Bar Service
Food and bar service operates for Saturday sailing and is run on a volunteer basis. It takes only a short time to get familiar with serving behind the bar or preparing food. Prices are displayed in the kitchen. Instructions are described in the roles and responsibilities section of this site and also in a clearfile kept in the kitchen. Lunches and snacks are made available for sale from around 1130hrs onwards. To comply with liquor licensing rules, food (not just snacks) must be available at all times when alcohol is sold. Pies, hot dogs and ingredients for toasted sandwiches are kept in the fridge, freezer and pantry for this purpose. EFTPos is available at the club. A duplicate receipt prints with each transaction and one copy is to remain in the till. Please seek help if you are unsure how to use this facility. View our lunch, afternoon tea and bar rosters here
