Maylands Yacht Club Inc

From the manager

 Maylands Yacht Club (MYC) is located on the Swan River less than 5 km from the centre of Perth. We sail a variety of classes, from the single handed Laser and Moth, to a number of two-handed dinghies and trailer-sailers. Juniors also have the opportunity to try their hand at sailing the ever-popular Mirror, an ideal training dinghy, plus the single-handed Minnow.

 

Sailing in our Summer Series takes place on Sundays from October through to April.  Racing commences at 2.00 pm, while Sunday morning is reserved for training.  A Winter Series is held from May to September on the first Sunday of each month, with the first of two short races starting at 1.00 pm.

 

In addition, a number of social events are held throughout the year.

 

Maylands Yacht Club is essentially a family oriented club, with a strong emphasis on enjoyment and helping those who want to learn to sail.

 

Conditions are typically flat water and varying breezes, with stronger winds occurring during the summer months. Gusts and windshifts are a good test of helmsmanship, and skill and tactics often win out over straight line speed.
