"LET'S GO" RACING 
Join us on a Sunday and sail alongside our Club Racers
No previous sailing experience required, you’ll have an instructor onboard to guide you!
Sailing on our ‘Farr25 Platu' inshore keelboats which carry a crew of five.
You’ll have the chance to quickly ‘learn the ropes’, then start the race racing on our beautiful Lake Macqaurie including rounding marker buoy's at Belmont, Carey Bay, Toronto, Coal Point, Fishing Point & Swansea (Depending on wind & course selection) and then head back to the finish at the clubhouse.
We’ll meet at the LMYC Sailing Office at 10:30am for a briefing & boat rigging, the race start will be at 11:00am.
Depending upon the wind, we’ll be back into the marina around 1:30pm to unrig.
Then we’ll head up to the clubhouse with the rest of the LMYC racing crews for the presentation, to see who takes out the prizes!
Secure your place on a racing crew for only $80 per person.
Why not organise a group of four friends and sail together with our instructor to make your crew of five!
Bookings are essential as spots are limited – Enrolments are open until 6:00pm the day before sailing.
