Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club is a fully-volunteer club located on the foreshore of McMillan Straits and Lake Victoria, Paynesville in East Gippsland. The club was founded in 1937 and has been committed to sailing for over 85 years. The facility has grown somewhat since those early days and now boasts to be one of the most successful family sailing clubs in Victoria. Our facilities include a fully-licenced bar, club rooms with lake views, launching area with ramp, crane, and mooring jetties. The Club has wet berth, hardstand and undercover boat storage.
Gippsland Lakes is one of the most active sailing clubs in country Victoria, whereby we are operational all-year round. Over and above our Sunday full fleet cut and thrust seasonal sailing between October and May the club also runs a winter series on Saturdays commencing 1300 hours on 1 day a month. For those interested in competitive stern-chaser sailing, GLYC runs an extremely successful Twilight Series held each Tuesday evening during daylight saving hours, followed by a social meal at the club (Open to all divisions). A full year schedule of sailing is available with an Ancient Mariners Series. This sailing occurs during the week every Thursday or Friday depending on wind strengths and weather with 1300 hours start (Open to trailable and keel boats) . All visitors are welcome but in order to sail with us must be members of a yacht club, or register for a sail pass (which can be obtained for no cost from the GLYC Website) and have proof of insurance if intending to race their own yacht.
