Royal Brighton Yacht Club
COMMODORE ’ S WELCOME
GREETINGS
It is my very great pleasure as Commodore of Royal Brighton Yacht Club to invite and welcome members and visitors alike to our Club on the shores of Port Phillip . Royal Brighton Yacht Club has a long and distinguished history going back to 1875 , growing from a small lean-to shed on the beach here in Brighton to the large modern facility you see now .
Our passion for the sport of sailing has remained undiminished . The style of yachts may have changed , but the wind in our sails , friendly competition and adventurous cruising further afield , continue to attract countless of Melburnians and visitors to our Club on the water .
We have an extensive sailing program , which provides opportunities for young and old , male and female , racer and cruiser to go sailing . For those new to sailing there are children ’ s or adult learn to sail programs , while for the more experienced there is racing , or cruising , or a combination of both . Besides our active keelboat and one-design fleets , I am pleased to report that our off-the-beach dinghy classes are strongly re-establishing themselves .
