"LET'S GO" RACING 
Join us on a Wednesday afternoon and sail alongside our Club Racers
No previous sailing experience required, you’ll have an instructor onboard to guide you!
Sailing on our ‘Farr25 Platu' inshore keelboats which carry a crew of five.
You’ll have the chance to quickly ‘learn the ropes’, then start the race racing on our beautiful Lake Macqaurie including rounding marker buoy's at Belmont, Carey Bay, Toronto, Coal Point, Fishing Point & Swansea (Depending on wind & course selection) and then head back to the finish at the clubhouse.
We’ll meet at the LMYC Racing Office at 1:30pm for a briefing & boat rigging, the race start will be at 2:00pm.
Depending upon the wind, we’ll be back into the marina around 4:30pm to unrig.
Then we’ll head up to the clubhouse with the rest of the LMYC racing crews for the presentation, to see who takes out the prizes!
Secure your place on a racing crew for only $80 per person.
