WBA Events

Join us for sailing on Albert Park Lake and for lunch (BYO) up on the terrace  Graham will be getting Begonia ship shape, so here is a chance to get out for a sail in a classic wooden boat! 

On our Wednesday 25 November club night we have Steve Briner and Stuart Cousins from the St Kilda flotilla of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard coming to talk to us about current safety regulations and boating rules, to give us an overview of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard, and of St Kilda Marine Search and Rescue operations. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions. As usual, the hall at Albert Park Yacht Club will be open from 7pm, with the meeting starting at 7:30. 

Christmas at APYC 

The main course is catered for, but we are asking you to bring a salad or dessert for sharing. RSVP is essential in order to organise the catering, so please email Andrew Padgett, secretary@woodenboat.asn.au, to let him know if you are coming and to let him know what you are bringing.

RSVP by 1 December at the latest, but early responses will be appreciated.

Two St Ayles Skiffs will be coming along on the day - Mordi Skiffs and Williamstown Coastal Rowing - and their crews will be joining us for lunch.  So it might be a good day to bring along that row boat that is hiding in the shed, we might organize an inuagural round Gunn Island rowing race to add to the festivities.

A low key sailing day to ease into the New Year, an opportunity to show off all the nifty new sailing boating gear that turned up under your Christmas Tree and a last chance to compare notes for those preparing to head on down to Tasmania for the Tawe Nunnugah Raid.  Bring your lunch and join us on the terrace.
