The Palm Beach Yacht Club was established in 1985 to promote friendly sailing in all the races it conducts and activities it supports.
“The objective of the Club shall be to foster, encourage and engage in the sport of sailing”
If you enjoy Sailing, Cruising, Racing or just boating on Pittwater, you should think about joining the Palm Beach Yacht Club. At Palm Beach Yacht Club you can sail, cruise or race with friends on beautiful Pittwater & the surrounding waterways with year round on-water activities. In addition, you have access to shared Club Casual Moorings in three different locations. All this for only $330 pa for full family Boat Owner Membership or $70 pa for individual Crew (non-boat owning) Membership. This also includes complimentary membership of Club Palm Beach. Our smaller fleet sizes are ideal for less experienced sailors to safely get in to Yacht Racing and learn more about their boat with minimal stress.E-mail us at palmbeachyachtclub@outlook.com for more information

UPDATE ON ACTIVITIES – September 2024
Spring is in the Air but the cold Westerlies have not finished with us yet.
Sunday’s Olympic Race had to be abandoned due to the Gale Force winds on Pittwater.
Meanwhile the Annual General Meeting is coming up on Thursday 26th September in Club Palm Beach at 7:30 pm. You are encouraged to attend and have a say in the future of your Club. If you are unable to attend then feel free to forward by e-mail any queries or matters you feel need to be discussed.
The new Season Program has been posted but in the meantime, have you renewed your Membership for 2024-25 ?
Please save your volunteer Committee members from more work by not having to chase you up for it.
Finally – there are 4 Early Bird Handicap Start events scheduled for Friday afternoons starting on the 20th. They will only proceed if there is sufficient interest to support them (minimum 3 yachts). Do we have any Starters ?
FAIR WINDS.
2023-24 COMMITTEE
Commodore: Jim Gordon
Secretary: Paul Pugliese
Treasurer: Daryl Holland
Committee Members: Peter Sullivan, Phil Smith & Rob Slack.
