Welcome To Mission Beach Sailing Club

Mission Beach Sailing Club is a small community club located in South Mission Beach. Our sailing season runs from April to November, featuring off-beach sailing in the sheltered waters near Dunk Island. Currently, our primary focus is social sailing, and we are dedicated to adapting as our members' needs evolve.

The Club membership year runs from September 1st to August 31st. For details on sailing days and events, please refer to our club calendar. www.missionbeachsailingclub.com.au/about/sailing-calendar-2024

Club Sailing Days

We host numerous sailing days throughout the year. Join us for these events by checking our calendar page for specific dates. Our emphasis on social sailing will continue to evolve with the needs of our members.

Adventure Sails

Our club’s mission is to foster a sense of involvement, enthusiasm, and friendship that comes from sailing in this breathtaking environment. We invite you to join us for our Adventure Sails, which include trips to Dunk Island and the Family Island Group. These Sailing Days offer a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of our local waters while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow sailors.

Club Boats

Our club maintains a fleet of boats available for various events and activities. Currently, we offer:

• 1 Laser: Available for regattas.
• 2 Pacers: Available for club days, with up to 4 Pacers available for regattas.

To book a boat or learn more, please contact us directly. info@missionbeachsailingclub.com.au

Regatta

We proudly host the annual Mission Beach Regatta, a tradition that has been celebrated for over 40 years.  This event draws sailors from across the state, eager to compete in one of the most anticipated sailing events of the year.

The regatta features the Around Dunk Island Race, designed for catamarans and larger monohulls, showcasing the skill and endurance of seasoned sailors. For smaller boats, we offer the Purtaboi Island Race,  which provides a thrilling challenge in a more intimate setting.

To stay informed about this and other events, please refer to our events calendar. www.missionbeachsailingclub.com.au/about/sailing-calendar-2024

Learn to Sail

Currently, we do not offer learn-to-sail programs directly through our club. However, we are proud to collaborate with and recommend the excellent Learn-to-Sail courses available at Tinaroo Sailing Club and Townsville Sailing Club. These clubs provide comprehensive training for all skill levels, ensuring that you gain the confidence and knowledge needed to enjoy sailing to the fullest.

Support Our Club

As part of our fundraising efforts, we offer a variety of merchandise, including T-shirts, stickers, and stubby coolers. These items are available for purchase on Club days and at our annual regatta. Your support helps us continue to provide quality sailing experiences for our members and the community.

We look forward to sailing with you! For more information or to discuss any questions, please feel free to contact us. info@missionbeachsailing.com.au
