Boat Storage

For those storing their boats at the club, a reminder that it is a condition of storage that you are a financial member in the current season, and all your storage fees are paid up to date.

If you wish to keep storing your boat at the club, please ensure you renew your membership and pay your storage fees prior to the season opening on the 8th of October.

You can renew your membership here. You will be able to take out the appropriate storage for your boat during the renewal process.

If you no longer wish to store your boat at the club, please have it removed prior to the start of the season on the 8th of October to make room for active boats.

As all are aware, storage is limited at our small club, so we need to prioritises those boats that are actively sailing. As such, any boats stored after this time that have not paid for storage will be removed from the club, or, at the committee’s discretion, become club property for the use of members.

We appreciate your assistance and understanding with this matter.

Season Opening BBQ

The first race of the season is on the 8th October and the club will be putting on an afternoon BBQ on that day for members and their guests to kick off the new season!

We look forward to seeing everyone down at the club on the Sunday afternoon from 3pm.

Save Lyne Park Foreshore

The amenity and capacity of our neighbour sailing club, Woollahra Sailing Club, is being threatened by Council’s proposed Lyne Park Playground Renewal Project.

You can find out more about the proposal here.

Please encourage Woollahra Council to stop, pause and rethink the new development at Lyne Park before the planned construction in 2023

It would be very easy to move the proposed playground west and deliver a result that is a win for the whole community. Please Act Now! Sign the petition.
