The Royal Brighton Yacht Club is supporting the growth of women’s sailing

Access to suitable sailing clothing remains a key barrier, affecting safety, confidence and enjoyment on the water.
Members are encouraged to donate quality, serviceable items such as jackets, pants, boots, gloves and thermal layers. Other major Clubs on Port Phillip have been invited to participate in this initiative.
Donated gear will be included in a silent auction, with all proceeds supporting the KISS Women’s Training Program.

National Volunteer Week 18-24 May 2026
|
|
Our club couldn’t survive without our volunteers, both on and off the water. From our General Committee, sub-committees, race management volunteers and working groups, we are grateful for all their hard work, which isn’t always easy! Nonetheless, volunteering is ultimately satisfying for those who do it and very much appreciated by those who don’t have the time.
|
|
Next week is National Volunteer Week. Take the time to thank one of our many volunteers for the terrific job they do – a simple expression of thanks goes a long way..

Our team (Greg Clinnick, Greg Blanch, Julie McKay) are seeking your support to help support them, every few dollars counts. Donate HERE
