Maylands Yacht Club

Maylands Yacht Club (MYC) located on the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia.

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, Sabre and Spiral , to a number of two-handed dinghies including Mirrors and 125s, and the popular trailer-sailer Hartley TS 16 .

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.

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.
