The CYCA offers its members and visitors a wide array of sailing formats from which to choose.

Those who enjoy sailing in company to an idyllic location and rafting up with other club members over dinner make up CYCA cruising, a group of club members who regularly meet to hear guest speakers and to plan fun day or weekend trips. 

Mount Gay Monday Twilight Series and St Arnou Wednesday Series

If you enjoy social sailing, the Mount Gay Monday Twilight Series (spinnaker) and St. Arnou Wednesday Twilight Series (non-spinnaker) are ideal.

The St. Arnou Wednesday Twilight Series attracts more than 100 yachts each week and is the perfect mid-week break, a twilight sail around Sydney Harbour followed by a prize giving and dinner on the CYCA’s deck during the warm summer months.

Weekend Sailing

Weekend sailing in summer is also available in a number of different formats – Short Ocean Pointscore, Ocean Pointscore and Short Haul Pointscore.

Audi Winter Series

From April to July, the CYCA runs the Audi Winter Series, with fleets regularly reaching 150 every Sunday.  An Audi Winter Series race can be a full day out with a cooked breakfast on the club’s deck to start the day followed by the spinnaker race on Sydney Harbour and then a prize giving and video highlights.

Blue Water Pointscore

For the serious ocean racer, the Blue Water Pointscore offers seven long ocean races over nine months of the year with the highlight being the double points earner – the annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
