While Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club may be the home to high performance Offshore and Fleet racing sportspeople, we also partner with local community & schools. At Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club our focus is not just winning; we hope to inspire individuals to be active and participate in the sport. The primary objective of our Club is to provide encouragement of amateur to professional level yachting and boating activities including hosting and organising local, national and international yachting and powerboat events.

In 1896, the distinguished colonist Edward Keane, along with Aubrey Sherwood, Collector of Customs and some of their local friends agreed to form a sailing club and build a jetty for their boats at the foot of Irvine Street in Freshwater Bay. Some 116 years later, after two world wars, endless regattas, world, state and local club championships, Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club continues to thrive, prosper, and bring together Club Members and their families at this same picturesque location on the banks of the Swan River.

• About our Club

We welcome you to Sun City Yacht Club.

The Sun City Yacht Club (SCYC) was formed in 1974 in the Two Rocks \ Yanchep region. Next year the club is celebrating its 50 th year since its foundation on November 11 th, 1974 by a group of dedicated sailors and businessmen.

Probably the best-known of those founding members was Alan Bond, the visionary who bought together the team that captured the America's Cup for Australia in 1983 when Australia II, representing the Royal Perth Yacht Club, beat the New York Yacht Club’s Liberty. Alan Bond originally planned to challenge for the America’s Cup from Two Rocks with Southern Cross, her trialing partner Gretel and Australia I training and competing off Two Rocks and Yanchep for the right to challenge for the Americas Cup. Although defeated by the Americans in the 1977 challenge and in 1980, Alan Bond challenged again in 1983 when Australia II won the Americas Cup.

For many years after 1974, the Two Rocks marina was a popular destination for international visiting yachts, many of whom were unable to pass under the bridges on the Swan River. The marina was also the first along the coast to have a Travel (Tami) Lift to get the large boats out of the water. The yacht club thrived in this period with frequent keel boat races and small catamaran races.

The Sun City Yacht Club now has a fleet of 20 dinghies in four different classes and a strong focus remains on introducing and training people, both junior and adult in the basics of sailing. The club is an accredited Yachting Australia Discover Sailing Centre.

New members are welcome - the club hosts regular Saturday dinghy sailing during summer, has an active social calendar, and provides opportunities for members to sail on keelboats.

WA Cruising Guide

← back to cruising section, western australian cruising guide version 5.4.

February 2023 

The Western Australian Cruising Guide is regarded as the coastal cruising bible for WA, covering the coast from Darwin to Eucla, including the Christmas and Cocos Islands. This book is a definite “must have”, especially for cruising the Kimberley, with over 600 pages, 220 chartlets and many interesting colour photos. The main source of information for this guide is feedback from the hundreds of sailors who have shared their knowledge of this largely unexplored part of the coast.

The  5th edition, now in its fourth update (v5.4), was a major revision of the 4th edition published in 2014. It includes dozens of new diagrams and several hundred new items of information. The first part of the guide covers weather, tides, passage planning, communications, emergency services, marine animals and government departments. The second part contains specific pilotage information on many anchorages, showing suitable spots to anchor, dangers, the amount of protection, tidal information, places of interest, history of the area, and local contact details.

Southern Ocean Sailing

Southern Ocean Sailing is based in Albany, on the south coast of Western Australia.

Our passion is sailing but more importantly introducing people to the wonders of the oceans.

Our "fleet" includes a Beneteau 40.7 First and our Recreational Skipper's Ticket craft.

We have experience sailing the oceans of the world. From the ice of Antarctica, around Cape Horn to the Northern Atlantic and all oceans between.

We deliver Yachts World Wide!

Our ocean knowledge provides for a terrific experience whether blue water sailing, coastal sailing or obtaining your Recreational Skipper's Ticket.

Mark is a walking encyclopaedia on how to handle a boat safely and how to make sure I keep myself and my passengers safe. He was very encouraging during the training session and the assessment. I was very nervous about getting my Skipper’s Ticket, but Mark made it feel like fun which helped me a lot.

SANDY AND RORY LAURENS, ALBANY

The Ocean and sailing has been part of our family for many years. What a pleasure it was to spend some time with a chap who has sailed the oceans of the world. Mark's story is amazing and what was fantastic was the way he was able to share his knowledge. I would recommend to anyone needing a Skippers Ticket to contact Southern Ocean Sailing. A wonderful day on the water!

JENNY RICKERBY, ALBANY

We found practical tips, based on Mark's extensive experience, extremely useful. A very thorough and informative test, presented in a professional, friendly and helpful (not intimidating) manner. We would recommend "Southern Ocean Sailing" to anyone wishing to obtain their RST.
