The Cairns Yacht Club nestles on the waterfront of Trinity Inlet, in the main city area of Cairns, in Far North Queensland, where it has resided for over 100 years. Located at 145.17.05E and 16.58.00S the club offers the joys of sailing in various forms in the balmy tropical climate of North Eastern Australia. The history of the club itself stretches over 100 years and makes very interesting reading so we do suggest you have a look at our history page for more details.

 Location of Cairns Yacht Club

 The club offers a range of sailing activities with a focus on keel boat and junior dinghy sailing. It's WAGS (Wednesday Afternoon Gentleman's Sailing), which has been running now every Wednesday for over 25 years, has become "infamous" as a fabulous way for visitors to "get on the water". Meet some local yachting identities and enjoy both the competitive and social nature of sailing. It is estimated that since WAGS' inception the club has been responsible for taking over 20,000 visitors out onto the beautiful waters of Trinity Inlet.

Double Island as seen from the Ellis Beach Clubhouse.
The club also boasts a canoeing and outrigger wing which is becoming very popular with the locals. Visitors are welcome to participate.

The Club has a waterfront lease at Ellis Beach, a very picturesque beach area just 20 minutes drive north of the city on the road to Port Douglas, where outriggers and "off the beach catamarans" regularly compete. Members of the club are welcome to visit this facility and even stay overnight as there are sufficient grounds and resources to allow camping to take place.

In 2003 the Cairns Yacht Club was provisionally listed as a Heritage listed building and facility. Unfortunately, at the eleventh hour this listing was reversed. The club now faces a new future in a new facility and located within the Cairns Marlin Marina. The club will continue to work closely together with the Cairns community as it continues it's second century in the development and involvement in sailing and boating in it's various forms.

This years 100th Dent to Dunk Rally gets under way this Saturday from Airlie Beach and concludes in Port Hinchinbrook. As at today there are 44 boats in the Rally with 11 to race to Port Hinchinbrook the race starting on Saturday week. Next year we will hopefuly have more entries from the CYC participating but this year the 48 foot Doug Peterson designed sloop 'Shaka Zulu' will carry the flag for the CYC. Shaka Zulu arrived in Airlie after her trip down from Cairns last Monday and is now all ready to go. Also good to see that Stuart fro the club has got a ride on the Volvo 60 Merit in the race and he will return to Cairns on board Shaka Zulu after the race/rally is concluded. Keep a watch for future updates. Cheers Warwick B
