24.01.2022 Due to Covid-19 restrictions at this stage the sailing season will hopefully commence on Oct 31st. Further details will be posted here and the website when finalised.

23.01.2022 Another good roll up for the learn to sail program.

23.01.2022 It is with excitement that the Colac Yacht Club is announcing they will be holding the 48th National Titles for the RL24s in January 2021. Whilst having water depth issues in recent years a final decision will be made at the commencement of October . If deemed the level will be sufficient the titles will be ran in Colac otherwise they will be held in Gippsland. Colac has one of the biggest fleet of RLs that sail regularly and it is envisaged that the titles could see a large number of boats compete. Support will be needed to assist with the regatta so if you would like to volunteer your services please contact the club. Dates will be Jan 4th to the 8th

20.01.2022 The learn to sail program will commence on November 21st at 9am and will run for approx 5 weeks at this stage. This is an ideal opportunity for people of all ages to try their hand at sailing. For more information you can contact the club via this page or our website. www.colacyachtclub.com.au

19.01.2022 With no sailing on the program this coming weekend, and the weather looking great for the Melbourne Cup it is thought that a cruise to Meredith Park on Tuesday for lunch and some refreshments would be a great idea. Cruise is open to trailable and off the beach boats ( some may wish to drive to Meredith Park). With a commencement of say 11.30am it would be great to see a few boats on the water. If you are going to participate can you please confirm in the comments section.
