Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club

Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club The Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club offers sailing for the beginner right the way through to the experienced sailor. We have a beautiful rowing facility.

Welcome to the Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club (RRS&RC) Website. Established in 1937 you will find us situated adjacent to the Ballina Waterslide Park, on the waterfront of the Richmond River. We are a warm, friendly, social and family orientated club, with a wealth of experienced sailing talent as members. We sail and club race weekly from September (Traditionally father’s day is the openi

ng of our season) through to the end of May. We also run a winter sailing series, weather dependent. The season’s race/events calendar can be viewed on the club website. We have approximately 150 members, weekly competitive racing on Sunday’s at 1.30pm and a regular fleet of approximately 30 boats. We currently have four divisions - Monohulls, Trailer Sailers, Catamarans and Gennakers (mainly Formula 15s and RS 100s). We run “Learn to Sail” programmes; host a weekly transitional sail training programme from 10am-12pm on Sunday Mornings, with an affiliated sailing Coach. We have a variety of club boats available for members to use including, Lasers, Pacers, Corsairs and Bics. Membership fees are highly competitive and relatively inexpensive for what is on offer, and the amount of pleasure that sailing on the Richmond River brings. We are in a fabulous location, a fantastic club, and lots of socialising after club racing on the club Verandah, overlooking the river as the sun is setting. We have quality members that are enthusiastic and highly motivated who not only club race but also travel to State and National Sailing Events, and we seem to be a club that regularly breeds Champions. Annual Events include our club Regatta (November) and working bees. So if you are interested in becoming a member, you can learn to Sail, Row and Skull all at The RRS&RC!
