MEMBERSHIP MATTERS

We’ve had another fun filled summer season at the Club.

The Dinghy and Training Centre (DTC) was a flurry of activity over the holiday period with 380 participants completing a Learn to Sail course in dinghies. Our young instructors are excellent mentors for these keen young participants and many of the budding sailors continue on to regular Club activities and membership.

Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club is a great place to relax with friends, but we do put on an excellent party and what a great Rock the Dock Party we had in February! The main wharf area came alive. There was a main stage and places to sit and enjoy the band when not out rocking the dance floor! The power yacht fleet added to the atmosphere in a raft up, parked stern in along the wharf allowing members and guests to mingle, what a great night out.

Special events on the water, the Club was host to the Contender Australian and World Championships in January, in February we held the 75th Bunbury and Return Ocean Race including a display of race history in the Clubhouse and we approach the end of the summer season with the Flying Fifteen Australian and World Championships which RFBYC will run off Fremantle.

See you at the Club.

New Members’ Night

After a break over the festive period these fun filled functions are back. All members are encouraged to join us in the Members’ Bar to welcome our newest members to the Club. The evenings are a great way to meet your fellow members and we have a guest speaker segment, affectionately referred to as an Old Salt, speak about their connection with the Club and what it means to them. For this part of the evening, the Membership Committee will be mixing things up a bit. The February event included a guest panel of sailors who contested the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. You may see this interview panel style again in future after a special event, or perhaps a sailing team of two to share their exciting adventures in the sport.
