Members are the lifeblood of every Club. It is the members’ contribution to their Club that makes it what it is.

Join Now!!

The inaugural meeting for the formation of a Sailing Club on Lake Cootharaba was held at 8:00pm on 12th February 1946 and was attended by fourteen prospective members.

These members had an ethos that has carried on throughout the years and is still practised today. They were all prepared to put in the effort that was necessary to get the job done and share the workload.

To this day, the running of the Club both on and off water has continued to be done by members on a volunteer basis.  It currently has in excess of 300 members who share a love of not only sailing and “The Lake”, but also of simply being part of the “family” that is the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club!!

They purchased the land and built a timber Clubhouse themselves. No concrete trucks or excavators were used. It was all done by hand!

Image

Similarly in 1960 when the construction work on the present Clubhouse began, the members did most of the work.

They enjoy the competition and camaraderie of a full calendar of club racing and regattas, and playing a role in hosting the many annual regattas that afford others the opportunity of visiting and racing at what we believe is one of the best sailing venues around.

Members also benefit from access to boat storage facilities, sailing lessons, other courses, reduced regatta entry fees, and much more…  not to mention the social activities that are very much a part of being a member of the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club family.

Why not join and become one of the family!!
