Welcome
The
Association was formed in 1983 by a group of enthusiastic Farr
Trailable Yacht owners and incorporated under the associations act
in 1986. We are an active Association with over 50 family members.
Our members mostly own Farr 5000, 6000 and 7500 classes and we
offer an interstate membership at reduced fees.
The
Association's objective is to maintain class rules as well as to
further the interest and enjoyment of the sport of sailing by
organising events and providing information for our members. We
are an affiliated Association of Yachting Victoria
We
organise cruises within the waters of the Gippsland Lakes, Port
Phillip and Western Port, Victoria, and more distant interstate
waters such as Coffin Bay (SA), the Myall Lakes and Lake Macquarie
(NSW) and the Broadwater (QLD). Children particularly enjoy the
company of a group at the beach, and the safety of numbers is
reassuring to those new to sailing. We conduct State Championships
annually and encourage individual members to compete in Yacht Club
races and special events such as the Marlay Point Overnight Race.
Members
are kept up to date with developments via our 'Better Boating By
Farr' nights, which have featured many subjects over the years
including Sails and Sailing Skills, Fibreglass Boat Repair, First
Aid and Medical Kits, Trailer Maintenance, Radio Equipment and
Operation, and Cooking On-board.
We
regularly publish a newsletter to advise our members of any
forthcoming social event or cruise. We welcome new Farr Trailable
Yacht owners to join us and to be part of our sailing and social
events. Negotiated insurance rates with an Insurance Brokers means
the discount virtually covers our membership fee.
Amongst
our membership is a wealth of knowledge, which can be tapped into
to solve any problem members may encounter. Please feel free to
contact the Association for further information about our
activities.
