Enjoy Sailing With Royal Bali Yacht Club |
|
The RBYC has only been around for a few years but it continues to grow steadily with two new club houses and a program of racing and social events throughout the year. The club's main aim is to encourage and promote the sport of sailing in Bali by providing a focus where sailors both experienced and beginners can meet to learn or practice their skills. Sailing boats come in all shapes and sizes and club members have boats ranging from a tiny optimist dinghies to 100ft+ motor yachts. However boat ownership is certainly not necessary to join the club. You can always join a boat-owning member for sailing. They will be very happy with the company ! And maybe later if you want to buy your own boat, they can assist you with their knowledge in this matter. In order to cater for both small "off the beach" boats and larger deep water yachts the club has established two separate Venues. There is a small clubhouse with space for boat storage located on the beach in front of the Mercure Hotel at Sanur. There are several types of dinghy and also a growing fleet of catamarans. Laser races are held on several Sundays each month at times suitable to the tide. The clubhouse at Serangan has reopened. The addition of a marine services company at the venue means that both local sailors and yachtsmen visiting Bali now have a place to meet and obtain help and advice. So whether you are a novice to the sport or an old salt we would be happy to welcome you aboard. For our 2009 event calendar click here. |
