The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club is one of Australia's leading Club's within the sport of sailing and is known as one of the Premier Yacht Clubs in Australia.
The Club's racing program and activities are second to none. Our professional event administrators ensure that yacht racing is innovative, safe and user orientated with a varied program year round, combining inshore and offshore racing. We pride our club on its ability to host high quality, professional events in a pristine environment.
Members of any age or ability can enjoy the big fleets, great sailing locations and competition. The club has a wide and varied range of sailing activities.
The Club actively encourages safe sailing. The sport of sailing and particularly racing and ocean racing, involves some degree of risk. The Club is very proud of its excellent safety record. However we believe this can only be maintained if we actively pursue a range of initiatives aimed at minimising the risk to the sailors and boats.
The regulations we use are the Special Regulations of Yachting Australia, that are very closely modelled on the International Sailing Federation’s Special Regulations. All boats participating in Club races and cruises must comply with these regulations. There are several different special regulations categories that apply to different Club events. Category 7 applies to all Club racing events with the only exception being the Category 2 & 3 Blue Water Coastal Series races and the category 4 Two-Handed Offshore Fleet races.
Each boat participating in Club events requires a valid and current special regulations equipment audit. Audits are conducted annually by volunteers over the four Saturdays prior to Opening Day. New Members who have joined the Club after opening day can contact the Sailing Office to arrange an audit on a Saturday.
