The members of the Club have a wide range of boating interests from dinghies and trailer sailers to motor cruisers, and provide a wealth of sailing expertise. Competitive sailing is well catered for with personal and VYC handicap racing at weekends and twilight (no spinnaker) races on Tuesday evenings during daylight saving. The Club hosts National and State regattas and has members who have been successful in World, National and State titles in various classes.
The GLYC is affiliated with Yachting Victoria, Yachting Australia, and Sailability Victoria, giving the East Gippsland region a voice at senior yachting levels.
The Club runs a training school on certain Sunday mornings. Beginners of all ages are always welcome, so even novices can easily learn the ropes. Sailability programs are conducted for people with disabilities and primary school children.
Bear in mind that you don't need to own a boat to start sailing. Whether you are interested in competitive or social sailing there are always skippers looking for crews (no experience necessary). To check out what is happening ring the club on 5156 6864, visit the website, or just turn up on Sunday mornings or Tuesday evenings (5.00pm) during daylight saving hours.
Visitors are always welcome at the Club. The 'Loft' bar upstairs is a cozy spot, with wonderful views, which is open each Friday evening, as well as Tuesday evenings and most Sundays during the sailing season.
