Come Sailing at RBYC with SaiPass
|
|
|
|
|
Through Australian Sailing, our national governing body, we’re able to provide a safe and affordable way to get aboard our boats. Whether you’re going to come racing with us on Wednesdays or Saturdays or perhaps join our recreational boating activities Sail Pass has you covered.
|
|
The Sail Pass is a day pass. It is FREE for the first 6 sails then it costs only $15 and covers insurance and access to our club. With a Sail Pass, you can use our facilities (change rooms, members bar, etc) and enjoy the life of a boatie!
|
|
A Sail Pass is a great way to start if you’ve never been on a boat before and want to give it a crack. Boating is a very weather dependent sport. If you want to come yacht racing with us, we recommend you check the weather first.

Twilight Racing Review
|
|
It was a magnificent evening for a sail, with 17 boats in the Pursuit. The wind did die off and sadly a few boats did not get to complete the race within the time limit, but there were smiles all round.
|
|
Also a new weekly prize was awarded, Best Start. This goes to the Twilight Pursuit boat that starts closest to its allocated start time. A bottle of Red is up for grabs. So get your crew onto it and see how well you can do (only top 3 will be announced) and you must be at the presentation to get the wine.

OTB News

Last week six RBYC laser sailors represented the club with strong performances in the Sail Sandy regatta. In light and lumpy conditions Owen McMahon dominated the fleet winning not only the Laser division, but also being awarded the overall winner for Sail Sandy across all divisions - a great achievement. Damon Cook also finished on the podium, placing third in the Laser division. Michael O'Brien, Brendon Jukes, Mark Deacon and Andrew Crawshaw all put in strong performances - albeit with some setbacks for starting infringements and various navigational calamities.
