It’s time to get out on the water!

Loch Sport Boat Club members, family and friends are invited to join us for a Social Boating Day to Paynesville on Sunday 18 October.

Whether you have a powerboat, sailing boat, jet ski or kayak, you’re welcome to join the day. Make your own way across the Gippsland Lakes and meet up with everyone in Paynesville for lunch at the Paynesville Hotel at 12:00pm.

No racing, no competition and no need to have the biggest or fastest boat. This one is simply about getting out on the water and enjoying the Gippsland Lakes together.

Destination: Paynesville
Lunch: Paynesville Hotel
Lunch Time: 12:00pm

Registration Required

All participants are asked to register through RevSport before the event.

Registration will help us organise numbers for lunch and give the Club a record of participating vessels and crews.

If members wishes to attend and does not have a boat, please register early so we may be able to pair you with someone who does. Please be aware this is only if spaces are available.

When registering, skippers will be asked to provide their vessel details, number of people aboard, mobile contact number and emergency contact.

Safety on the Water

This is a social boating event, not an organised race or supervised convoy.

Each skipper/operator remains responsible for:

• The seaworthiness and safe operation of their vessel

• Carrying the safety equipment required for their vessel and operating area

• Ensuring appropriate lifejackets/PFDs are available and worn when required

• Checking fuel, batteries, engine and essential vessel systems before departure

• Checking weather, wind and water conditions before setting out

• Holding the appropriate marine licence and vessel registration where required

• The safety and behaviour of passengers aboard their vessel

• Deciding whether the conditions are appropriate for their vessel and their own level of experience

Safety always comes first. If the conditions aren't suitable for you or your vessel on the day, don't feel you have to make the trip by water.

You can always drive around and join us for lunch at Paynesville Hotel at 12:00pm.

Let's Go Boating!

LSBC is, after all, a boat club, so let's make the most of having the magnificent Gippsland Lakes on our doorstep.

Bring the boat, yacht or jet ski, bring some friends and enjoy a social day on the Lakes with fellow members.

Register now through RevSport and we'll see you in Paynesville!
