Racing at Balmain Sailing Club
Balmain Sailing Club runs a full racing calendar throughout the year, including the West Harbour Spring, Summer and Winter series; Friday Twilight races throughout daylight savings; and Friday Afternoon Series’ all year round.
Our skippers are often looking for crew. If you are an experienced sailor looking for a regular team or if you would like to sail in a race to find out if you like crewing, we'd love to hear from you.
If you have any queries please contact the club
