SUMMARY:RPEYC Classic Yacht Regatta - 11th April 2026
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the pointy end of the racing season at the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club\, it is worth acknowledging the effort every racing sailor puts in to do the best they can. The conclusion of this season with the Kelly Cup is not simply another tilt at glory; it is an opportunity to recognise the people\, effort and shared experiences that make our club such a vibrant and enduring community. Our sincere thanks go first to the sailors who took part across all divisions of the club’s racing program. From twilights and weekend racing to offshore events\, every competitor contributed to the spirit and success of the season. The consistency with which boats arrived on the start line\, ready to race in all conditions\, speaks volumes about the commitment and enthusiasm of our members. The standard of sailing\, sportsmanship and mutual respect shown throughout the season reflects the values that have long defined the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club. Twilight racing deserves special mention as one of the most enjoyable and accessible aspects of our sailing calendar. These races continue to provide a relaxed yet competitive environment that brings together sailors of all experience levels. Twilight racing is often the gateway for new members and crews\, and it is still a highlight for many who balance sailing with work and family commitments. The sight of boats racing into the evening light\, followed by shared conversations ashore\, captures the social heart of the club and reminds us that sailing is as much about community as it is about competition. Behind every successful season stands a dedicated group of volunteers\, and this year has been no exception. Our maintenance teams\, tender boat crews\, starters and OOD’s have worked tirelessly to ensure racing and celebrations are conducted safely\, fairly\, and efficiently. Often volunteering week after week\, they are the backbone of the club’s operations. Their willingness to contribute time and expertise enables everyone else to enjoy racing with confidence and peace of mind. The committees and club officials also deserve recognition for their ongoing commitment. Planning race programs\, maintaining facilities and equipment\, managing communications\, and supporting members requires steady effort throughout the year. Their work\, much of it unseen ensures the club continues to function smoothly while preserving its traditions and welcoming new participants. The Amateurs enjoys strong friendships with clubs and groups that populate Sydney harbour. Close to home the Mosman Rowers hosted a special event on Sunday 8th March for International Women’s Day and three of our most passionate racing sailors are talking about why sailing. Just across the harbour\, Sarah and I recently watched the aquatic battles of the RANSA Regatta from the comfort of the coal fired Lady Hopetoun. The day was a great success with participation of boats and crews from many clubs. The Amateurs Sunday racing divisions scheduled it as a point score race which made a great difference. Of particular note were the folkboats who came out en masse to show they are still very much a class that is alive and kicking. The special place we enjoy on the shores of Mosman Bay should not be taken for granted. Recent announcements by State Planning have shown that the lobbying efforts of the Sydney Heritage Fleet were not in vain. A volunteer group much like us\, they are well connected and determined and it looks like they will secure a new home in White Bay as part of the Bays precinct development. Recently another small sailing club – The Port Hacking Sailing Club – has had their land lease reappraised and the rental raised 600%; they are facing an existential crisis. As our history clearly shows\, we are not immune from losing out to powerful interests\, so it is important that we cultivate goodwill amongst our friends and neighbours and support each other as the challenges come in. Beyond results and trophies\, the true success of the season lies in the friendships formed and strengthened along the way. Conversations on the tender\, the pontoon\, post race gatherings\, and the shared stories of close calls and good luck all contribute to the sense of belonging that makes SASC special. These moments remind us why we return season after season. As we approach the end of this racing year\, thank you to everyone who took part — sailors\, volunteers\, families and supporters alike. Your involvement is what keeps the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club thriving. We look forward to seeing you back as part of a working bee\, or on the water next season\, continuing the traditions and enjoyment that define our club. Peter Scott Commodore

The standard of sailing\, sportsmanship and mutual respect shown throughout the season reflects the values that have long defined the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club. Twilight racing deserves special mention as one of the most enjoyable and accessible aspects of our sailing calendar. These races continue to provide a relaxed yet competitive environment that brings together sailors of all experience levels. Twilight racing is often the gateway for new members and crews\, and it is still a highlight for many who balance sailing with work and family commitments. The sight of boats racing into the evening light\, followed by shared conversations ashore\, captures the social heart of the club and reminds us that sailing is as much about community as it is about competition. Behind every successful season stands a dedicated group of volunteers\, and this year has been no exception. Our maintenance teams\, tender boat crews\, starters and OOD’s have worked tirelessly to ensure racing and celebrations are conducted safely\, fairly\, and efficiently. Often volunteering week after week\, they are the backbone of the club’s operations. Their willingness to contribute time and expertise enables everyone else to enjoy racing with confidence and peace of mind. The committees and club officials also deserve recognition for their ongoing commitment. Planning race programs\, maintaining facilities and equipment\, managing communications\, and supporting members requires steady effort throughout the year. Their work\, much of it unseen ensures the club continues to function smoothly while preserving its traditions and welcoming new participants. The Amateurs enjoys strong friendships with clubs and groups that populate Sydney harbour. Close to home the Mosman Rowers hosted a special event on Sunday 8th March for International Women’s Day and three of our most passionate racing sailors are talking about why sailing. Just across the harbour\, Sarah and I recently watched the aquatic battles of the RANSA Regatta from the comfort of the coal fired Lady Hopetoun. The day was a great success with participation of boats and crews from many clubs. The Amateurs Sunday racing divisions scheduled it as a point score race which made a great difference. Of particular note were the folkboats who came out en masse to show they are still very much a class that is alive and kicking. The special place we enjoy on the shores of Mosman Bay should not be taken for granted. Recent announcements by State Planning have shown that the lobbying efforts of the Sydney Heritage Fleet were not in vain. A volunteer group much like us\, they are well connected and determined and it looks like they will secure a new home in White Bay as part of the Bays precinct development. Recently another small sailing club – The Port Hacking Sailing Club – has had their land lease reappraised and the rental raised 600%; they are facing an existential crisis. As our history clearly shows\, we are not immune from losing out to powerful interests\, so it is important that we cultivate goodwill amongst our friends and neighbours and support each other as the challenges come in. Beyond results and trophies\, the true success of the season lies in the friendships formed and strengthened along the way. Conversations on the tender\, the pontoon\, post race gatherings\, and the shared stories of close calls and good luck all contribute to the sense of belonging that makes SASC special. These moments remind us why we return season after season. As we approach the end of this racing year\, thank you to everyone who took part — sailors\, volunteers\, families and supporters alike. Your involvement is what keeps the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club thriving. We look forward to seeing you back as part of a working bee\, or on the water next season\, continuing the traditions and enjoyment that define our club. Peter Scott Commodore

SUMMARY:Winter Series 2026
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the pointy end of the racing season at the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club\, it is worth acknowledging the effort every racing sailor puts in to do the best they can. The conclusion of this season with the Kelly Cup is not simply another tilt at glory; it is an opportunity to recognise the people\, effort and shared experiences that make our club such a vibrant and enduring community.
