Docklands Yacht Club overlooks Victoria Harbour with sweeping views of the Melbourne City skyline and the ever changing Docklands precinct. From January 2016, sailing will take place from the 60 metre pontoon at our new premises - the Community Boating Hub, 912 Collins Street, adacent to the Library at Dock Square. Community Sailing days are normally the second and fourth Sunday of each month year round from 11am but are subject to change (check Calendar page for more details). Everyone is welcome. We supply the boats, lifejackets and instruction.

On a day where the regular Short Course Series was abandoned due to the forecast poor weather, a trio of keen Impulse sailors could not resist the opportunity to sail on Docklands.
Breezes were approaching the upper limit, but Terry, David & Morgan obliged by setting a course and running three short races in the brisk but surprisingly dry conditions. This was the first sail for Perin Hardie's new boat and he was happy to bring it across the line for three straight wins.
The Impulse class are planning to be back on
