About

The clubhouse is on the Swan River foreshore, less than 5km from the Perth CBD and about 25km upriver from the port city of Fremantle. We sail a variety of classes, primarily the single-handed Laser and Sabre, and the two-handed dinghy Mirror  dinghy.  Some of our older members sailed in  Pacers and the popular trailer-sailer Hartley TS16.  

Juniors also have the opportunity to try their hand at sailing the ever-popular Mirror, an ideal training dinghy, plus the single-handed Minnow.

Sailing in our Summer Series takes place on Sundays from October through to April.  Racing commences at 2pm, while Sunday morning is reserved for training.  A Winter Series is held from May to September on the first Sunday of each month, with the first of two short races starting at 1pm.  In addition, a number of social events are held throughout the year.

Conditions are typically flat water and varying breezes, with stronger winds during the summer months. Gusts and wind shifts are a good test of helmsmanship, and skill and tactics often win out over straight-line speed.

 The Club runs two Learn to Sail Program for all ages during the summer season, along with Junior Introduction to Sailing courses during school holidays (for school aged children). Additionally, the club fosters a Training Fleet that offers ongoing coaching and opportunities for sailors to enhance their skills and confidence beyond the initial Learn to Sail experience.
