Twilight racing is BACK! ⛵️☀️

It was simply stunning out on the harbour for both our yacht and dinghy divisions! And so good to see so many people back at the club afterwards for food, drinks, live music and dancing. 🍻💃

Welcome to our new sailors!

What a way to start the season! ❤️

🐞 Let’s see that again! The Balmain Bug — our six‑foot skiff and living link to Balmain’s skiff racing heritage — will be back for the Regatta this year.

She’s tiny, over‑canvassed, a little outrageous, and absolutely iconic. Built as a faithful replica of the skiffs raced by Balmain’s shipwrights and watermen more than 150 years ago, the Bug is one of the most loved sights on the harbour.

If you missed her last time, don’t make that mistake again. If you saw her… you already know why she’s worth a second look.

Don’t miss the Balmain Bug at the 2026 Balmain Regatta on Sunday 25 October!
