About Glenelg Yacht Club
Glenelg Yacht Club was established in 2019 by a group of
sailing and boating enthusiasts to provide a support
network for like-minded people who were based at the
Patawalonga Boat Haven, Glenelg, South Australia.
But don’t let the fact we are a new club fool you… our
members have a world of experience, with varied pasts
such as commercial fishermen, long distance solo sailors,
Sydney to Hobart “old hands” and much more. It is not so
much about the age of a club that makes it great, it is the
members that make it special.
Many of our yachts have circumnavigated the globe, and
the lessons learned from those experiences are a wealth
which adds to the rich tapestry that makes Glenelg Yacht
Club special.
Our members range from “I just bought it” owners right
through to “I have been sailing for 60 years”.
It is this wide range of experience and the wealth of
knowledge that comes with that experience that new boat
owners and members find invaluable.
Glenelg Yacht Club has been described as “salt of the earth
people”, who are always happy to lend a hand or offer some
words of wisdom (whether you want them or not often!) to
save you from making expensive mistakes.
Whether you are an old hand or a total newbie with a small
trailer-sailer, you will always be made to feel welcome at
Glenelg Yacht Club!
Our inaugural Commodore was Robyn Greening, and with
40% of our membership being female… we not only believe
in equality, we actually enact it! This is not a “boys club”.
