About

Vision and Values

Our Vision

We are Western Port's first choice for Sunday sailing, fishing and having a great time.

Values

Teamwork: We will work together to help everyone to have a great time.

Responsibility: We are proud of our club and want to pass it on to the next generation in a better condition than we found it.

Learning: We pass on our knowledge to all who come to our club.

Passion: We love being on the water and we love Western Port.

Respect: We understand that members come to our club for different reasons and we respect all and their passions.

 

Our Activities

We sail, we fish and we have a great time at Balnarring Beach, Victoria, Australia.

Racing

We race off the beach boats from October to April each year. Classes sailed include Aero, Hobie, Impulse, Laser, O'pen Bic, Optimist, Pacer, Sabre, Taipan and Tasar.

Sail Training

We have a comprehensive sail training program for all ages.

Fishing

You would rather be fishing than queuing up at a public launching ramp. We have the only decent launching facilities, for boats up to 7.5m LOA, between Stony Point and Flinders. We have two tractors to take your boat down the beach.

Community

We have a strong relationship with the Balnarring Beach Foreshore Committee. We respect our environment and work hard to ensure the beach from which we operate is the best that it can be.
