There are many untagged bikes being stored in the carpark area. Bike storage is allocated to senior members that have a boat on the marina or hardstand. There can only be one (1) bike per boat and an annual storage tag must be attached. These tags can be collected from reception. Any bike that DOES NOT have a tag on it by 15th June will be given to charity. If you have a tagged bike you will need to collect your 26-27 tag from 1st July 2026.

The crew of Another Chapter “slept out” last Thursday to help raise money to reduce youth homelessness.

With over 800 sleepers and more than 100 teams, the Another Chapter crew raised $8,460, largely thanks to our family, friends and fellow sailors at the club. A great cause. Thanks for the support from RBYC. Over $600,000 has been raised in total.
