The RPAYC Discover Sailing Centre is pleased to welcome you to our 'Alfreds Community Sailing' - Friday Sailing Days, during each month in 2025-2026. 

Our Friday Sailing Experience Days are an opportunity for veterans, frontline workers, first responders and other community groups to be introduced to sailing. These days are held once a month and allow you to do as much or as little as you like on-water, concluding with a great social lunch post-sailing. Learn more about the Alfreds Community Sailing program.

Sessions will be conducted on the Club's fleet of Elliott 7 Keelboats, as well as the private sailing yachts owned by our Club Members and Volunteers.
