Nedlands Yacht Club

How about some Flashback Friday through the winter months for a bit of fun!

Here’s few images of our sailing clubhouse through the years. After a suitable venue was negotiated for the Nedlands Subiaco Yacht Club, building commenced in June 1955. You’ll notice the club initials in the photo of the original clubhouse. Under the leadership of Jack LeMaistre, members and helpers built a small clubhouse with flag deck on the first floor verandah and a storage shed for their VJ’s. Additions were later made and the building later became known as the Junior Clubhouse.

In May 2024 we said farewell to the old building and cleared the decks for a new one. The old building could no longer function for the future of sailing at NYC.

One year ago, in May 2025 the exciting new build began and now stands a fantastic new facility, the NYC Sail Training Centre. You’ll notice the similar styling in the new clubhouse and in keeping with tradition the club initials displayed on the tower!

What a gorgeous day on the river, the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) at NYC.

It’s Djeran season, where the cooler weather begins. We get these beautiful warm and calm days. Not so great for our sailors, but picturesque on the club lawn.

Summer Wind Down Sundowner at NYC.

We close the summer sailing season and get ready for winter! Sailing will continue through the cooler months which bring different conditions for our sailors to experience.

What a great afternoon at the Club with a casual sail, time to socialise on the verandah with an amazing view and BBQ dinner. How’s that moon rise over the Swan!

Casual sailing in the afternoon, socialise with the club community and stay on for dinner.

The BBQ awaits you, bring something to cook and salad and snacks to share. The club bar will be open for members and guests from 4pm to 7pm and we might even pop something great up on the big screen in the clubhouse!

Grab your morning cuppa, sit back and relive the fun of the WA School Team Sailing Championship in today’s sailing news:

Team racing sailing is an exciting part of the sport where sailors work in a team of boats with the goal of the lowest overall score. It's been a popular sport for school teams around the country for many years with schools lining up against each other.

Our Hobie fleet in Perth are based at Nedlands Yacht Club and today was Picnic Day! The end of season FUN sailing day where the crews helm the boats for the racing.

This race is a bit of a tradition at NYC where the skippers and crews swap roles for the day. Go Crews! 💪🏼⛵️🥇🥈🥉

The fleet will continue sailing at the club through the winter season (which isn’t too bad most of the time in Perth!) including regular racing on the river.

Great viewing of the racing from the Nedlands foreshore. Here’s Scotch leading in to the finish during the Grand Final Series.

And with Scotch Gold scoring 2,3,5 for their team in races three and four in a super tight battle with Christ Church Gold. 10 points beats CCGS on 11 (places 1,4,6)!

That’s a total of three race wins to Scotch in the best of five. Well done sailors!
