Richmond Yacht Club: Want to get out on the water this summer and give sailing a go?

Issue date

Want to get out on the water this summer and give sailing a go? Check out Richmond Yacht Club's Friday Night Special Series.

We run a series of eight races over the summer months for adults who would like to experience "a taste of sailing", or who have experience and are looking to find a place as crew on a boat.

Each race you are allocated to a different boat which can range in size from a 26ft to 44ft yacht. It is also great for networking - we encourage crew members to let skippers know that they are available to crew for any of their other racing throughout the year.

This popular event allows newcomers to experience sailing (and its social side) in a friendly and relaxed environment. The RYC’s Victoria Friday Night Special is a series of fun sailing (non-Spinnaker) races around the harbour followed by short seminars introducing the basics of sailing after each race. 

Total cost is $195.00 which includes Crew Membership, Race Entry Fee and Seminars.

Dates for Richmond Yacht Club’s Victoria Friday Night Special series are:
