ROYAL GEELONG NAMED YACHT CLUB OF THE YEAR

Royal Geelong Yacht Club (RGYC) was today announced as 2020 Yacht Club of the Year at the Australian Sailing Awards, following the biggest sailing season in the Club’s 161-year history.

The announcement follows the Club’s success in winning the Victorian Yacht Club of the Year award in September.

RGYC Commodore Stuart Dickson said the national award recognises the ongoing growth of Club activity, Sailing, Learn to Sail and inclusive programs, community support programs, major community infrastructure development projects and the club’s huge Summer of Sailing during the 2019/20 season.

“Ours is a club for all the community with programs and facilities offering a world class experience, both on and off the water.

“It is a privilege and honour to be named as the Australian Yacht Club of the Year after all the hard work put in by our Board, members, volunteers and staff throughout the past year,” Commodore Dickson said.
