Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, a little over an hour's drive from Melbourne on the shores of Port Phillip, welcomes those who wish to enjoy the beauty of our southern waters and ideal conditions for sailing, whether racing or cruising. Originally very much a holiday club, Blairgowrie now has a strong membership among Penninsula residents. In recent years many yacht clubs have struggled to maintain members. But Blairgowrie, through strong promotion and flexible fee structures, has shown good membership growth during the last three years. Family participation is encouraged in the club, and new members are always made welcome. The clubs' junior sail training programs are recognised as among the best in Australia. Facilities for off the beach boats, keelboats, racing catamarans and trailable yachts are excellent. The Safe Boat Harbour includes a slipway and overhead gantry. Blairgowrie has a very active boating program which caters to a broad spectrum of interests. The club has earned an outstanding reputation for its professional conduct of State, National and World Sailing Championships.
