Black Rock Yacht Club is hosting a Discover Sailing Day on Sunday 8^th November 2026.

Join us to find out why Black Rock is such a wonderful place to learn to sail and enjoy the best of bayside fun. 

Sign up for a short sail with an experienced sailor (weather permitting), have a look around the club facilities, have BBQ sausage and find out about the programs and sailing courses offered at BRYC. 

There is something for the whole family and even kids as young as five years old can sail (when accompanied by a parent or guardian). People of all abilities are welcome. 

Discover Sailing Day is free to attend and all our boats and safety equipment is provided by the club.

All you need to bring is clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting wet, sun screen and a hat. Shoes with non-marking soles are preferred. Crocs are ok.
