The Altona Yacht Club is a friendly family and community oriented club but extremely competitive when it comes to our racing series.
Club racing is held on Saturday afternoons from October to May (no organised racing over Christmas period) and the club rooms are open from around 8:30am until approx 6pm on Saturdays during the racing calendar.
The club offers unlimited FREE car parking, large fully grassed rigging area, safe launching and retrieving facilities, in all wind directions and almost all wind strengths, for both 'off the Beach' boats and trailerables with a safe harbour adjacent to the club.
There is ample under cover boat storage for 'off the beach' boats, a staffed canteen offering a wide variety of food and a large function room. A magnificent view of the city can be seen from the first floor observation room, which provides a complete view of the whole course area, adjacent to the race control tower.
During racing the Altona Yacht Club's race control tower is in constant radio contact with the rescue boats which are manned by qualified and experienced volunteers.
We have two sail training courses. One pre Christmas the other post Christmas. Check our training page for further information.
Sailing Simulator: Since 2007 Altona Yacht Club has been training adults, primary and secondary school students the basic skills of sailing using a sailing simulator. It has been extremely beneficial especially for some students with their current limited physical abilities, and those with low self esteem to be able to skipper, without having to be athletic, or having to cope with capsizes or difficult weather conditions. |
