About Hunters Hill Sailing Club

The Club was established in 1961. Initially based at Onions Point at the mouth of the Lane Cove River, the Club moved to its present site in 1971. A detailed history of the club can be found in the history section.

Hunters Hill Sailing Club aims to foster and encourage participation in the sport of sailing, particularly among youth and family groups. The Club demonstrates a commitment to this aim by the provision of a strong training program that seeks to develop sailing skills in members of every age and skill level. Members are expected to reciprocate by assisting with the smooth running of the Club and ensuring that the majority of the work does not fall to a small group of members.

Hunters Hill Sailing Club is a family orientated club and an accredited Australian Sailing Discover Sailing Centre that offers courses and opportunities for all skill levels from beginners to the experienced sailor. The club actively encourages participation and is committed to passing on the skills needed to sail a boat as well as the sportsmanship that goes with it.

We have an option to suit everyone when it comes to learning to love of sailing. Whether you are after a short learn to sail experience or a longer learn to sail course, the team of qualified instructors can help. It is even easier to get into sailing at Hunters Hill Sailing Club. With very little cost or commitment, members can enjoy the marvels of sailing.

For our youngest sailors aged 7-10 years of age, we have a free two session “Try Sailing” program to try out sailing for fun before you take the plunge and join our Club and its’ Learn to Sail Programs. Most spring and summer months we have 10 slots available for a Sunday course of Try-Sail. Once you’ve had a go, at no expense at all, if you’d like to carry on we would welcome you to the Club as a member (with mum or dad as a member too) and you will join in with a small group of sailors just like you, learning the skills and gaining experience to ensure a life time of sailing adventures. You can register for this free sailing experience on ourTraining page – noting that places are limited each month!!
