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.
