25.01.2022 The first night of Selfies with Santa was hit with members of all ages! Santa will be at SYC tonight, tomorrow night and Friday 5:30 - 7:00pm!

24.01.2022 The Commodore, Flag Officers, members and staff of Sandringham Yacht Club mourn the passing of Yvonne Mrs Willo Williams. An Associate member, Mrs. Willo was the loving wife of John and mother of Pete, Michael, Bruce and Elizabeth. While she did not necessarily like yachting herself, she accepted and embraced her family’s love of sailing. A testament to her personality. Yvonne was a loyal friend to many and will be missed by all at SYC. ... We extend our deepest sympathy to John and the Williams family.

24.01.2022 The Recreational Boating Person of the Year awarded tonight at the AGM, went to a long-standing and wonderfully active SYC person, George Shaw. More broadly George has been very active in supporting our SYC charities and has been a backbone of the Melbourne-Osaka two handed races. In Recreational Boating he has been a longstanding committee member and an active participant in many of their events even if we have had to suffer his early morning trumpet playing. Additionally he always lends a hand, whether it be finding guest speakers, organising entertainment for their Christmas function, finding prizes for fund raising, taking on the microphone to facilitate events (because he’s the shy type), or even exhibiting his professional mastery of the two up game. Congratulations George.

23.01.2022 The honour of Life Membership was awarded to John Chatham tonight at the AGM. John Chatham joined Sandringham Yacht Club in November 1978. For over 40 years he has made a significant contribution to the success and high standing of the club. His involvement with the life of the club has covered:...Continue reading

19.01.2022 The 2020 Club Person of Year Award was awarded tonight at the AGM. This year it was actually a Club Persons, plural, of the Year award, and was awarded to two very deserving SYC Members, James and Chris Mitchell, whom have demonstrated outstanding service to SYC in 2019/2020. 2019/2020 saw SYC’s biggest Summer of Sailing with five Laser regattas being held only months and sometimes, weeks apart from November 2019 February 2020. As the key organisers of these regattas, here... is some of what they delivered; - Delivered 5 regattas including 3 World Championships - These events attracted 725 competitors from 55 countries - Those competitors were accompanied by 156 coaches - The events were held over 26 competition (regatta) days - In all there were 200 volunteers enlisted to help deliver these events - Managed the budgeting, billeting, accommodation, functions, environmental / sustainability initiatives and unbelievable camaraderie And it wasn’t an easy feat; - They spent 2 years planning for the execution of these events - They spent 4 months full time (took time off work) to be involved in the events delivery - As Olympic qualifiers, the standard of these regattas was very much run to Olympic standard - Were the face of the regatta for many of the stakeholders essentially spent their life at the Club to ensure their successful delivery including engaging on all levels - boat park rubbish pickups, washing boats, sign on / sign off, Regatta Office, food distribution pre-race & post etc, etc James and Chris also raised the profile of SYC within the Community and to our interstate and international competitors and their guests. And the feedback from all has been overwhelming and is a true reflection of the standard to which our winners delivered these regattas. Congratulations James and Chris

14.01.2022 National Boating Week continues and today we’re focusing on Recreational Boating! Recreational boating is all about people enjoying on water activities with their boats in a less competitive, more social, family environment. Recreational boating events are open to all kinds of boats, power or yacht, large or small. Activities organised by the Recreational Boating Committee are for all members and their sailing friends. The aim of these events is to encourage participation i...n events, to share interesting and educational boating information as well as giving Club members more opportunities to meet other members and use the facilities of the Club. Events ranging from fishing competitions, Christmas parties to presentation events or be it cruising around Port Phillip, taking in the city views of Melbourne. Why not venture to indulge in the sort of camaraderie that the SYC Recreational Boating community have to offer. #sandringhamyachtclub #itsgreattobelong #BIAVic #Nationalboatingweek #SYC #welcometoourplayground #discoversailing #mercedesbenzbrighton #volunteers #clubmarine #australiansailing #lifesbetterwithaboat #sailpass #seasonpass #discoverboating #goboating #recreationalboating #fishing https://syc.com.au/on-water/recreational-boating/
