Commodore's Message

Hello and welcome to the 2026-27 season of the Port Lincoln Yacht Club.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new and returning members. We hope you enjoy your time on and off the water and make use of the many benefits our club provides in our ideal location on Boston Bay.

As we get the new season underway, we look forward to a busy program of club sailing over the summer. From the growing keel boat fleet, off the beach classes and our learn to sail program, our club is positioned to offer something to everyone who wants to participate in our sport. The enthusiasm and progress we see in our young sailors each season is a credit to the coaches, parents and volunteers who make it possible. We look forward to building on this again in 2026-27.

This season we will be trialling a Learn to Sail program for adults and teens, alongside our junior program. Whether you're a member who has never had the chance to get out on the water yourself, or you know someone who'd like to give sailing a go, this is a great opportunity.

I'd also like to acknowledge the ongoing generosity of our sponsors, without whom many of our events and facilities simply wouldn't be possible. Please take the time to recognise the businesses on our sponsors board and support them where you can, they support us all year round, and it's important we return that support.

Finally, I want to reinforce just how important volunteering is to the life of this club. From race officials and rescue boat crews to canteen duty and event organising, our ability to run a full season of racing and events depends entirely on members giving their time. I'd encourage everyone, wherever your skills or interests lie, to put your hand up and help where you can this season, every contribution, large or small, makes a real difference.

I look forward to seeing you all back on the water and at the club as the new season gets underway.

Happy sailing,

Brad Dennis
